Gary Thompson's Eagle Scout project is a four ton rock with a 18" x 24" plaque on it that was placed in 1982. The memorial was created and placed with funding assistance from The Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, and Worthington area businesses and individuals.
The plaque reads:
"Let us bow our heads in silent prayer remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice, that we might live in peace. To us is passed the sacred trust that their going was not in vain. Our heritage of liberty, justice and freedom will forever be cherished as their perpetual memorial."
