The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who are wounded or killed, or who die after being wounded, by enemy action while serving under competent authority after April 5, 1917. The award is given in the name of the President of the United States.
Purple Heart Day also serves to raise awareness of the impact of war on veterans and their families, and to highlight the importance of providing them with the support and resources they need to live fulfilling lives after their service. Please save the dates September 27th - September 29th, 2024 for Gold Star Mothers Weekend in Washington, DC.
More information will be provided in the coming weeks. We hope to see you there! |
