A Message from the Monument Team

The community of Steamboat Rock has roots that go deep into the his-

tory of the beginnings of our great nation, the united States of America.

There are many events and stories that have made this special colnmu-

nity what it is today. However, it is the people of this community and

the lives that they live that remind us that it is people not things that

bring dignity, honor, and courage into our world.

Today we want to honor a special gfoup of people from Steamboat

Rock who have risked their lives that we might live in freedom today.

veterans from the Mexican war to those veterans serving yet today

provide us with the opportunities and freedoms we so enjoy' We hum-

Lty tt unt you and hope to never forget the sacrifices that you have

made during wartime and peace time. This monument we dedicate to-

day is in honor of you and the example you have set of sacrificial giv-

ing to our great nation and our community.

A sense of community has been a huge part of the process of this monu-

ment. Many have given their time, money, and skills to make this pos-

sible. To each of you we owe a huge debt of thanks for your willing-ness to make this veterans Monument possible. As you view the

monument before you, we hope you enjoy its beauty and that you willbe reminded that freedom is not free.

We count it an honor to serve the veterans and this community.
