On Purple Heart Day, Heroes on the Water honors the men and women who were wounded or killed in service to our country.
The Purple Heart represents sacrifice that cannot be measured only by the medal itself. It carries the weight of what was endured, the families who stood beside those who served and the lasting impact that service can have long after the moment of injury.
Today, we recognize every Purple Heart recipient, remember those who did not return home and honor the courage of the military community they represent.
To the Purple Heart recipients within the Heroes on the Water community and across the country, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
