- Destroyer Escort Sailors
- Roll of Honor
- Enrolled here are the shipmates who did not survive the combined efforts of Allied Forces to restore peace to a war-torn world. They are heroes who gave their lives in combat, accident or illness, in service to their country.
- We were together once, part of a crew serving in the DE Navy during World War II, Korea and Vietnam. We were all there. These gallant sailors were with us once, but not long enough. They paid the highest price for peace, part of the terrible cost of war, never to enjoy the fruits of victory.
- These brave Navy and Coast Guard sailors are honored here, with their ships. They are also enshrined in the hearts of all who knew them.
- May these noble men rest in peace they so richly deserve, until we all sail together again.
