Inscription
In grateful memory of Carroll Leckman Ray born Mar. 21, 1918 who died in the service of his country at sea, Atlantic area, attached U.S.S. Plymouth, Aug. 5, 1943
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
