**Throughout August, we honor those whose sacrifice is etched into our nation's history.**

National Purple Heart Month is a time to recognize the extraordinary courage of the men and women who were wounded or gave their lives while defending the United States. The Purple Heart, established by General George Washington in 1782 and revived as a military decoration in 1932, remains one of our nation's most revered honors, symbolizing sacrifice in the face of danger.

The American Legion, Department of Florida proudly honors every Purple Heart recipient and extends our deepest gratitude to their families, whose strength and support have also served our nation. Their sacrifices remind us that the freedoms we enjoy have come at a profound cost.

This month, take time to attend a local observance, thank a Purple Heart recipient, learn their story, or support wounded veterans in your community. Together, we ensure their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.

Today is .
On April 9, 1942, U.S forces fighting on the Bataan Peninsula surrendered to the Japanese. Following their surrender, thousands of American and Filipino soldiers were forced on the Bataan Death March, a brutal 65-mile march to a prison camp, where many died due to harsh conditions and mistreatment.
Today, we honor all those who sacrificed so much in service to this nation, including their own freedom. Also in our thoughts are their families, who sacrificed waiting for their return.
