INTO THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, THAT WE
MIGHT SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, AND TO HONOR OUR MOTHER,
FOR WHOM IT FLIES ON MOTHER'S DAY.

BEEN THROUGHT THEIR FAITH, LOVE, LOYALTY AND
DEVOTION THAT THE CHARACTER OF THE MEN AND WOMEN

GIVEN HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO THE DEFENSE OF OUR
COUNTRY SINCE HE OR SHE WAS FIRST BORN.
11. THE ELEVENTH FOLD, IN THE EYES OF HEBREW CITIZENS,
REPRESENTS THE LOWER PORTION OF THE SEAL OF KING
DAVID AND KING SOLOMN AND GLORIFIES, IN THEIR EYES THE
GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISSAC AND JACOB.
12 THE TWELFTH FOLD, IN THE EYES OF A CHRISTIAN CITIZEN,
REPRESENTS AN EMBLEM OF ETERNITY AND GLORIFIES, IN
