A time for Americans to pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who were either wounded on the battlefield or paid the ultimate sacrifice. Purple Heart Day is also known as National Purple Heart Day, Purple Heart Recognition Day, and Purple Heart Appreciation Day. Purple Heart Day is considered an unofficial observance meaning that businesses, government offices, etc. do not close on this day.
On Purple Heart Day, we honor those who have received the Purple Heart medal. Post 178 is proud to be a Purple Heart Post.
