The Purple Heart Memorial reads “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” at the Wounded Warrior Battalion-East barracks aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 11. Beirut Memorial Chapter 642 Military Order of the Purple Heart donated the memorial to the battalion. “This means a great deal to me and all those in my chapter,” said Grant Beck, Chapter 642 commander. “We have received the Purple Heart and understand the heartache the young men and women who wear the medal go through.”
