[Husker] Memorial Stadium inscriptions

Cool!  :)


>> Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Stadium,_Lincoln>
>> has the same verbiage, with three exceptions:
>>
>>   1) in the first bullet it uses "Commemoration" rather than
>>      "Commendation";
>>
> Commemoration.
>
>>   2) also in the first bullet, it uses an apostrophe in "Nations"
>>      (i.e., presenting it as "Nation's").
>>
> No apostrophe is visible to me.  Also, as a point of information,
> every letter is capitalized.

So it sounds like Wikipedia and the unl site are both wrong, 
although on different aspects.

Thanks for the confirmation!
