Veteran's Monument in San Juan Capistrano

Sighted in a park at San Juan Capistrano was a monument with this inscription: This monument is dedicated to the valiant of the armed forces who ventured far, fought bravely, gave their time for service, and for some, gave their lives to preserve freedom and liberty in our land. This monument is a testimony to the manner in which they lived, worked, and fought to achieve the victories in order that America may live and that we may all live in freedom. I am very impressed with this sentiment. It neither glorifies war, nor degrades the sacrifice of our veterans. It doesn't imply that America is always right, or that veterans are all valiant and noble. But it does honor those who made and continue to make sacrifices for things which are bigger than themselves.
