Rear of Memorial
Each Purple Heart shall always be a part of freedom's history
Hold deep inside a fervent pride for all who gave, the brave who died
They showed their best for liberty they stood for us with certainty
Their wound of war, their Purple Heart each dared to care and do their part
Some bore a wound which took their life while others lived past war's honed knife
True patriots, they faced their call to keep our nation strong for all
Deep scars of war are carried by those who return and those who cry
Pray for the brave, their loved ones too thank God for heroes - all of you
