Combat Wounded Veterans
Military Order of the Purple Heart 1782 – 1932
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.
