Honoring Sacrifice on Purple Heart Day | Lincoln News

On August 7th, National Purple Heart Day, we honor the fallen and wounded warriors whose sacrifice is etched in history — over 1.8 million Purple Hearts awarded since 1782. A moving Honor Flight from Nebraska brought veterans of every major conflict — from Korea to Afghanistan — alongside Gold Star families, to D.C. for a pilgrimage of remembrance. They walked the hallowed grounds of Arlington, paid tribute at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, and found solace in shared stories and collective gratitude. These journeys aren’t just visits — they’re acts of living memory, ensuring that courage never fades. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
