Inscription. Dedicated to the recipients of this
Nation's oldest military decoration
"The Purple Heart"

Combat Wounded Veterans

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

maybe peace will
come in my lifetime.
