Retired U.S. Army Col. John Mansfield, from Sioux City, was recognized as one of many honorees, chosen for a multi-day event in New York City, honoring both “courage and sacrifice of America’s combat wounded.”
A former 25th Infantry Division soldier who served in the Vietnam War has been selected to be one of our nation’s 40 2026 Purple Heart Patriot Project honorees.
When combat veterans share their experiences with one another, their individual stories might be different, but very similar at the same time.
Three-time Purple Heart recipient James McCormick will represent West Virginia at the 2026 Purple Heart Patriot Project April 27-May 1 in New York.
As the celebration of America's 250th birthday continues, Purple Heart heroes from across the nation will come together in New York's historic Hudson Valley for a special tribute concert this April.
More than 1.8 million American service members have been awarded the Purple Heart, either having been wounded or killed-in-action. These brave heroes are deserving of our deepest thanks and gratitude.
