Purple Lights To Honor National Purple Heart Day August 7th
In Hunterdon
|
|
Hunterdon County’s Historic Courthouse in Flemington will be glowing purple in honor of National Purple Heart Day on Saturday, August 7th, as recommended by Commissioner Zach Rich and approved by the Board of Commissioners at the August 3rd meeting.
Commissioner Rich, who serves as the Board’s Veterans liaison, said, “The Purple Heart is awarded to those serving in the military who are killed or wounded in action against the enemy. As I considered how this Board, and our County, should honor and recognize those whose sacrifices earned the Purple Heart, I reflected on the deep patriotism of Hunterdon County residents.
I am proud to share that patriotism and to be a part of a community that supports and honors those who made sacrifices, particularly the ultimate sacrifice, to help keep this nation free. Lighting up the Courthouse in purple on Saturday is one small way to demonstrate our commitment to those who have received the award."
