Close up of the main plaque.  Again, using my trusty disposable camera the image is quite good considering the overcast day I went to visit the site.  I asked the permission of my Army driving instructor if I could go past the site and take some pictures, he said "no problems. . but if you don't drive safely I'll fail ya!". . . luckily I squeezed by truck through the front gate without touching.   :)
