Marker Text: DEDICATED By The ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON CAMP SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS NORMAN N. H. BEARD COMMANDER DECEMBER 2ND 1924

IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS WHOSE SACRED DUST LIES BURIED IN THE SHADOW OF THIS BUILDING THE GREAT SOUL OF THE SOUTH CAN NEVER FORGET HER HEROES SO LONG AS LIBERTY, HONOR, LOVE OF COUNTRY AND THE HEROIC DEEDS OF THE BRAVE AND THE GOOD ARE CHERISHED AS VIRTUES, AND SO LONG WILL THEIR NAMES LIVE IN BRIGHT LETTERS I THE PAGES OF HISTORY.

FROM THE EARLIEST DAWN OF CIVILIZATION DOWN THE CORRIDORS OF TIME TO THE PRESENT DAY, NO ARMY OF SOLDIERS IN ANY CLIME OR AGE EVER EXCELLED THEM IN PATRIOTISM, VALOR, CHIVALRY, HONOR AND DEVOTION TO HOME AN COUNTRY. THEY HAVE CEASED FROM THEIR FIGHTING, THEY HAVE FINISHED THEIR LABORS AND HAVE ENTERED INTO THE GLORIOUS REWARD THAT AWAITS THE FAITHFUL.
