Capture California, the Game-2012
Adventure: 084 – Fairfield
Monuments
Team: Thing One, Thing Two
Date: September 21, 2012
Location: West Texas Road,
Fairfield
Description:Across from the joyfulness of the Fairfield fountain is a reminder of a debt we have to those who gave the last full measure of their devotion. We paused to reflect the price paid for the freedom we enjoy. This memorial has plaques of those from Fairfield who died in wars since World War I.
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom
