The City of Henderson will host a ceremony Friday, Mar. 7 to designate the region as a “Purple Heart Community.”
The program will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in front of the Henderson Police Department, 200 Breckenridge St.
Purple Heart recipients, their families and all veterans are cordially invited to attend.
This designation is intended to express gratitude to members of the military from the community who were either wounded in combat or who were killed in combat.
There are more than 900 Purple Heart locations across the United States honoring the 1.6 million Purple Heart recipients.
