Purple Heart and Memorial Garden
William H. Pouch Scout Camp

Combat Infantrymans Badge [ CIB ]
leads you into
The Purple Heart & Memorial Garden
The CIB recognizes Skill and Heroism
Of all the Medals Upon our Chest From the Battles and War we knew,
The one admired as THE VERY BEST
Is the one of Infantry Blue.
It is only a rifle upon a wreath,
So why should it mean so much?
It is WHAT IT TOOK TO EARN IT
That gives it that Magic Touch.
To earn this special accolade
You faced the enemy's fire
Whether you survived or not
God dialed that one desired.
For those of us who served the cause
It is the
COMBAT INFANTRYMAN'S BADGE...
THAT REALLY TELLS THE STORY
