Inscription

In Grateful memory of 2nd Lieut Clayton B Baugh July 17, 1922 who died in the service of his country in the European area 8/16/1944. 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. He gave his today for our tomorrow.
