1. Combat Wounded Veterans Marker
Wounded In All Our Wars
Combat Wounded Veterans
My stone is red 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.
We few. We happy few. We Band of Brothers
For he today that sheds his blood with me
shall be my brother
