"_Whose deep and abiding interest made the War Service Stations and this memorial possible_"]

_My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's pride!
From ev'ry mountain side
Let freedom ring!_

_My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love.
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above._

_Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,--
The sound prolong._

_Our father's God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!_

_God save our noble men,
Send them safe home again,
God save our men.
Chivalrous, glorious,
From work laborious,
Send them victorious,
God save our men._

_They came from town and city,
From factory, mill and field,
At duty's call, they gave their all
America to shield._]
