Today, Aug. 7th, is Purple Heart Day, we honor all U.S. Veterans who were wounded or gave their lives in combat. Established by General George Washington on Aug. 7, 1782, as the Badge of Military Merit, it remains the oldest military decoration still awarded. We acknowledge the brave servicemembers who have sacrificed so much for our nation. The Purple Heart is a solemn reminder of the price paid for freedom and we are forever grateful for your sacrifices. Cypresswood Golf & CC is proud to be a Purple Heart entity and on the Cypresswood Golf & Country Club will illuminate their flags in the community and at the club tonight in purple to honor this day.
