Today,
Friday, August 7th, is National Purple Heart Day. Logan County
Sheriff and veteran Mark Landers, and local veteran and Purple Heart
Community advocate Joe Schaler, observe the day by standing for a
photo with the Military Order of the Purple Heart Flag that flies
daily on the lawn of the Logan County Courthouse in Lincoln.
Logan County and all of its communities are Purple Heart
Communities. In addition, the state of Illinois is a Purple Heart
State.
The Purple Heart established by General George Washington in 1782
and is awarded to those wounded or killed in combat. It is the
oldest military medal. In 1932, the Order of the Purple Heart was
chartered by Congress.
The Order motto is, "All gave some, some gave all."
