My life could have been just as full, had I never seen a Purple Heart in person, especially on my own son's chest. This is in memory of all those whose family have received this, for all those who have been wounded in war, including my own child. This is for SSgt. Pickett, who gave his own life protecting his men, & to his wife & children left behind.... Rest in peace brother SSgt. Pickett, U.S.Army, KIA 08June08, OIF 7, Kirkuk, Iraq
