		It says, "To the everlasting glory of the infantry, shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young." It probably is wrong to glorify the infantry, or the profession of arms -- or most professions, for that matter.
		But it is not wrong -- it is quite fitting -- to honor those who put at risk, or lost, their lives for their country's sake.
