Top section of marker:
Old Glory


I am the Star Spangled Banner.....
  conceived in 1777 out of love
  America bore for Liberty and Honor.
I am the memorial of countless heroes who
  shed their blood to preserve this
  sacred heritage.
I have inspired generations of gallant men
  who fought against tyranny.
I am the spirit of Valley Forge.....
  of sacrifice..... of courage.
I have guarded every rampart where freedom
  defended its glorious cause....
Tripoli... Belleau Wood...Argonne Forest
  ...Omaha Beach...Anzio...Bastogne
  ...Leyte Gulf...Iwo Jima...Korea...
  Viet Nam
I fly wherever Americans gave their lives to
  preserve the sanctity of life.
My home is in the hearts of all who feel a
  thrill of pride when they salute me
  and what I symbolize—
God · Country · Freedom
Valor
