"In grateful memory of MASTER SERGEANT H.J.D. who died in the service of his country in the military operations in Korea. He stands in the unbroken line of patriots who have dared to die that freedom might live, and grow, and increase its blessings. Freedom lives, and through it, he lives--in a way that humbles the undertakings of most men." ---Dwight D. Eisenhour, Pres. Of the United States of America
