Monumento de la Orden Militar de Corazon Purpura

Puerto Rican patriots who received the Purple Heart are honored as combat-wounded veterans, with language that links the order to 1782 and 1932 and evokes the blood they shed, the medal as their country's way of showing it cares, the hope that if their sacrifice were seen by all humanity peace might come in their lifetime, and the wish that their eternal sacrifice be engraved in the heart of their homeland.
