Purple Heart Memorial
Combat Wounded Veterans
| | Military Order of the Purple Heart 1782 - 1932 | |
Dedicated to the recipients of the nation's oldest military decoration the Purple Heart
My stone is red for
The blood they shed.
The medal I bear

To show they care.
If I could be seen

Maybe peace will
Come in my lifetime.
