Today we stand on a silent battlefield. The smoke of guns long since cooled hangs densely about our feet. Thousands of white crosses honor the noble dead. The wars are over. And the empty echoes of yesterday's cannons ring dimly in our ears.

The Gauley Bridge War Memorial Stands in Honor of the Brave Men and Women of Gauley Bridge Who Gave Their Lives So We Might Be Free.

Dedicated by the Town of Gauley Bridge, May 30, 1988. Charles H. Keenan, Mayor; Mary F. Blackwell, Recorder. Council: Ruby I. Winebrenner, T. Harvey Layne, Jr., Roy E. Young, Guy H. Waugh, Thomas J. Goldston.

Edmond "Bum" Code Post #129, American Legion Department of West Virginia. Veterans of Foreign Wars, Ted Christian, Jr. Post No. 8366, Department of Virginia.
