< Left Side Marker : >
"I will undertake it . . . . I think I owe to my country the accomplishment of an object so important, and so much desired by the Commander of her armies . . . . Yet I am not influenced by the expectation of promotion or pecuniary reward. I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary for the public good, becomes honorable by being necessary. If the exigencies of my country demand a peculiar service, its claims to the performance of that service are imperious."

"I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country."

< Back Marker : >
This monument and its plaques were placed on the shore of Huntington Bay by George Taylor Sr. in 1897, and given to the citizens of the Town of Huntington by his grandson Balmor Taylor Sept. 19, 1976.
