Purple Heart Memorial

The Purple Heart medal is presented to service members who have been wounded or killed as a result of enemy action while serving in the U.S. military. A Purple Heart is a solemn distinction and means a service member has greatly sacrificed themselves, or paid the ultimate price, while in the line of duty. 

Inscription:

Dedicated to All Men and Women
Wounded in All Our Wars

Combat and 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
