Engraved in the side of the tomb are these words: "Freedom is a light for which many men have died in darkness" "The independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and joint efforts of common dangers, suffering and success." (Washington Farewell Address, Sept. 17, 1796) "In unmarked graves within this square lie thousands of unknown soldiers of Washington's Army who died of wounds and sickness during the Revolutionary War."The plaque on the tomb reads: "Beneath this stone rests a soldier of Washington's army who died to give you liberty."
