Each year on Aug. 7, Americans pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who were either wounded on the battlefield or paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.
The Town of Lynnfield will recognize the 7th as Purple Heart Day and urge the people and organizations in town to display the American Flag, as well as public expressions of recognition of our Purple Heart recipients.
To recognize and honor Lynnfield’s Purple Heart recipients, as well as those from across our great country, we will project an image of the Purple Heart on the side of our Meeting House the evenings of Aug. 7-8. When driving by, please pause to commemorate Purple Heart Day and remember that there is a price for the freedoms we enjoy, and honor is due to those who gave their all in defense of those freedoms.
Join me in thanking all those who help make this day what it is: a day of observance for those who gave some, and some who gave all.
