Inscription
"This memorial dedicated in memory of all those of Madison County who served our nation in time of war [wars and dates] Madison County Veterans’ War Memorial
Dedicated with gratitude to all Madison County Veterans who gave their lives during time of war. Nothing, short of religion, is more important to me than freedom. I cannot imagine living life in a totalitarian state where individual responsibility is scorned. But to protect freedom, at times we are called individually to make a stand. The men you are about to honor made that stand, and I am eternally grateful. God gave us life, but man makes us free.
I never got to shake the hands of these men who gave their lives for my freedom, dying a lonely death in a distant land far from their home and loved ones. The least I can do is try to see that their names are engraved in stone for all posterity.
These are the words of the anonymous donor who made this monument possible. [names]"
