Purple Heart veterans:

The Traveling Wall, Vietnam Memorial is coming to Enumclaw August 5 through August 8, 2021. The Moving Wall, a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial that travels the country, will be on display at the soccer fields between Sunrise and Southwood schools.

On August 7, Purple Heart Day, the nation pauses to acknowledge and remember the sacrifices made by brave people in the military. The Purple Heart medal is designated as a combat decoration for those wounded or killed in combat.

A special ceremony will take place at The Traveling Wall on 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 7, national Purple Heart Day, to dedicate the city of Enumclaw a Purple Heart city.

We want all veterans from all the wars to wear their Purple Heart on National Purple Heart day, August 7 at the Purple Heart City dedication.

Welcome home.
