Dedication

         Dedicated to the   two hundred seventy-three men and women of the 120th Evacuation Hospital, Third Army; who were assigned to Buchenwald Concentration Camp on April 15, 1945,  as  the first major medical unit;  to relieve the suffering and indignities inflicted on their fellow man; to save their emaciated bodies; and to restore hope in their lives.

May there be no more such inhuman degradations. May we never forget. Further, may the memory of all those who served and whom we served – those who are with us today, and those who are no longer with us – be inscribed in our minds and hearts from this day, and forever more.
