An Important Tradition
We will see the reading of the names of the Purple Heart Monument in front of the Veteran’s Museum is a long-standing tradition, one we cherish. This year’s event, as every year, takes place on our about August 7th (the first Saturday of the month of August). We will commence with the ceremony at noon, and the weather should be very agreeable. August 7th is the day that George Washington created the Purple Heart, to honor those who exemplify extraordinary service in battle. This evolved to be reflective of those who were wounded in combat. This was a 1932 revision by the War Department. We are proud to be part of this experience with all in our nation. Please join us, visit our Calendar to learn more.
