Plaque :
The Memorial
Where are the symbols used for peace.
Where is the dove and olive branch ?
Why does man resort to fear,
And retard the peace advanced :
Well ! In the town of Wamaran.
Even thought there were a few.
Nasho`s came and gathered,
to show what [eace can do.
A memorial depicting peace, throughout eternity, was dedicated to the world, from the Nasho`s fraternity.
Through suffering and loss of life, to the eorld and peace they gave,
A memorial in memory of the price for peace they paid.
