The Purple Heart

There's a story id like to tell, about a strong and brave marine, a man to be called a true hero, for all hes been through and seen. You see this marine was far from home, serving his country, and fighting with pride, doing a job only a few can do, with those very few by his side. One day he set out, on a mission that's better left untold, this marine couldn't have seen it coming, as a series of events unrolled. This marine was severly wounded, and now has to live with the scars of war, but even though he has a long road ahead, he'll always remember what he was fighting for. In honor of this marine, who did more than his part, we salute, and thank you, with the purple heart.
