💜 National Purple Heart Day 💜

Today, we honor the brave men and women who were wounded or made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.

The Purple Heart is more than a medal; it represents courage, sacrifice, and a devotion to our nation that can never truly be repaid.

To every Purple Heart recipient, past and present: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your courage. 🇺🇸

We remember. We honor. We are grateful. 💜
