Frisco Purple Heart Monument Dedication (09/20/25)
2025-09-20 09:00 - 10:30 | Frisco Commons Park, 8000 Mckinney Rd, Frisco, 75033, United States
SAVE THE DATE!! The Frisco Purple Heart Monument team invites you to join us in honoring America’s heroes at the dedication of the new Purple Heart Monument at the Frisco Veterans Memorial on Saturday, September 20, 2025 @ 9:00 AM. More than a medal, the Purple Heart is a sacred emblem of sacrifice, awarded to those combat veterans killed or wounded in service to our nation. It bears witness to courage unshaken and the profound price of preserving our freedom. We extend our sincere gratitude for your financial contribution, which played an important role in enabling our Purple Heart monument project to be fully funded through donations.
Please wear your American Legion Cap.
Frisco Purple Heart Monument Dedication
Frisco Veterans Memorial – Frisco Commons Park
8000 McKinney Rd, Frisco, TX 75033
Saturday, September 20, 2025 @ 9:00 – 10:30 AM

Dedication Event Speaker – Captain Florent A. “Flo” Groberg, U.S. Army (Retired)
Recipient of the Medal of Honor, Bronze Star Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, and the Purple Heart

We are confident that the final three-piece, seven-foot-tall design will be well received, reflecting the honor, dignity, and reverence this monument deserves. Guided by meaningful input from local Frisco veterans, including Purple Heart recipients, it will stand as a lasting tribute of remembrance and gratitude for their noble service. One noteworthy aspect of the monument is the inclusion of two Honor Guard sentinel figures—intended to inspire a deeper sense of solemnity and respect.

This addition stands as a fitting tribute, joining our Frisco Veterans Memorial site that already honors service and sacrifice through its many cherished elements: the original 1948 Frisco Garden Club Veterans Memorial urn, a solemn Battlefield Cross, plaques recounting 17 wars and conflicts since Frisco’s founding, the Veterans Walk of Honor, the Frisco KIA Wall of Honor, the POW/MIA flag and plaque, the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, and the inspiring World War II Flyboy statue. Together, they form a place of honor, remembrance, gratitude, and enduring respect.
