In Memory of Milam Lafayette Rush
Echoes of a distant past can be heard throughout these meadows.
The sounds of innocent victims which will never be forgotten.
Each life was more than just a name inscribed on a monument,
They were loving family members, friends and neighbors.
The story of their lives should be recorded, shared and cherished.
And, we must share these stories of our forefathers that will forever last.
Not only for our ancestors passed of long ago, but for all our descendants to come.
For, we cannot live our future without looking at our past.
Every joy and sorrow, every triumph and loss bears witness to their struggles.
These lives will never be lived in vain: they will forever live on in our hearts.
