American Legion Post #22 - Purple Heart Ceremony

On Purple Heart Day, observed every year on August 7, we honor and remember the brave current and former service members who were wounded or killed in action while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

As the very first and oldest military medal, the Purple Heart was established by George Washington in 1782.  

We invite you to be with us to pay tribute to the oldest military decoration in the U.S. at Chief Tecopa Cemetary in Pahrump, NV. for the our official National Purple Heart Day Commemoration Ceremony, which is open to the public.
