Dedicated To The Recipients Of The
Nation's Oldest Military Decoration
"The Purple Heart"

Combat Wounded Veterans
Military Order of
the Purple Heart 1782 - 1932

My stone is here for
the blood they shed.
The medal I bear
is my country's way
to show they care.
If I could be seen
by all mankind
maybe peace will
come in my lifetime.
