Memorial Honoring 53
Not all Soldiers wear uniforms and carry rifles. Those civilian workers who

went into the Titan II Missile Complex near Searcy August 9, 1965, were dressed

in work clothes, wore hard hats, carried hammers and paint brushes, but whose

to say they were not soldiers? The 53 workers who were trapped when an explosion

piped through the missile silo gave up the greatest gift any soldier, anywhere

could give, his life.

Their sacrifice and that of their families is no less than any other.

We gratefully acknowledge these men and dedicate this monument to their memory

with love and respect.

We Miss You.
