That is the inscription on the Liberty tower of the memorial. I didn't know the WWI memorial is in Kansas City, Missouri, nor how big it is. I always find the elements of memorials and their specific meanings interesting and heart-felt. For instance, memorial faces east, toward Flanders Field and other WWI locations. It is also 11 degrees off North in honor of armistice: November 11, 1918 @ 11 am.
Happy Remembrance Day...Lest we forget.

Hey! I can tell you all kinds of things about the Liberty Memorial, like the museum got added later and it went from a non-utilitarian to a utilitarian type of memorial.
