The 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.
La Orden Militar del Corazón Púrpura
1782 • 1932
Mi piedra es roja para
la sangre que derramaron.
La medalla que llevo
es el camino de mi país
para demostrar que les importa.
Si pudiera ser visto
por toda la humanidad
tal vez la paz
ven en mi vida.
"Que nuestro eterno sacrificio quede grabado en el corazón de nuestra patria"
[English translation:]
