This very simple veterans' memorial is located in the Llano Cemetery. The upper part of the memorial features a stylized eagle with its wings outstretched on either side of the memorial. The front inscription reads:

Poppy Field

The right inscription reads:

To you from Failing Hands
We Throw the Torch:
Be Yours to Hold it High.
If Ye Break Faith
With Us who Die
We Shall not Sleep.
Though Poppies Grow...

Short Days Ago We lived,
Felt Dawn, Saw Sunset Glow,
Loved and Were Loved...
