The original text and message is inscribe inside the roof, winding around twice to complete the identification of honored. The honor roll of names is divided evenly on the four column legs of the temple. Later, in the center a red marble stone was erected for the counties dead from World War II. This red marble monument is topped with a stylized bomber aircraft passing into the clouds, with a small set of stairs overlapped by a single, un-spinning propeller.
