The Purple Heart Memorial is dedicated to the men and women wounded in all American wars while preserving the freedom of the United States. It honors combat-wounded veterans with words linking the stone’s red color to the blood they shed and the medal to the nation’s expression of care, and it voices the hope that if their sacrifice could be seen by all humankind, peace might come within a lifetime. It was presented by the Military Order of the Purple Heart and erected by people who share pride and love of country.
