Today is Purple Heart Day. Spring Lake would like to remember and honor the service and sacrifice of those who have been wounded or killed in combat, from all branches of the military.

On Aug. 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington created the "Badge for Military Merit." The decoration was reinstated in 1932, with the creation of the "Order of the Purple Heart." The award is presented to Soldiers killed or wounded in action against the enemy. Those who wear the Purple Heart will always have our respect and appreciation.
