Highland Cemetery is located two miles east of the town of Inola. Near a stone chapel constructed by the WPA, stands a four foot high granite slab on which a bronze plaque is mounted. The plaque has embossing showing the head and shoulders of nine military personnel representing all branches of the military.
At the top of the plaque is an eagle with wings outspread, and a ribbon reading DUTY / HONOR / COUNTRY. Beneath the figures is inscribed:
"The willingness to sacrifice is the prelude
to freedom."This memorial is dedicated with appreciation to the men and women
