This memorial is dedicated by a grateful nation of many nationalities and its veterans, to all of the men and women who have been awarded the Purple Heart Medal. Your courage and heroism under the most adverse conditions in times of war deserve our highest honors. Many valiant and courageous warriors never returned home to their loved ones because their lives were given up in battle. They paid the ultimate sacrifice in times of war.
