Quote by Theodore O'Hara
Quote: "Nor shall your story be forgot,
While fame her records keep."
Bivouac of the Dead
Rest on embalmed and sainted dead!
Dear as the blood ye gave;
No impious footstep here shall tread
The herbage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
For honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceless stone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many a vanquished ago has flown,
The story how ye fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter's blight,
Nor time's remorseless doom,
Can dim one ray of glory's light
That gilds your deathless tomb." Theodore O'Hara
Marker Text: Dedicated to Those who selflessly and willingly served their nation during the Vietnam War.
Their Hearts were tempered in fire;
Thier souls forged on the anvil of war.
No glory of the moment was awarded,
Yet History will keep and honor them forever.
