1. Combat Wounded Veterans Memorial
Dedicated to all men and women
wounded in all our wars.
My stone is red for the blood they shed.
The medal I bear is my countrys
way to show they care.
If I could be seen by all mankind
maybe peace will come in my lifetime.
Erected by Department of Alaska, Military Order of the Purple Heart.
