Purple Heart Day
Official statutory text
Purple Heart Day. The seventh day of August of each year is
hereby established as "Purple Heart Day" in Oklahoma. The Purple
Heart, as established by George Washington in 1782 and revived in
1932, is a decoration of honor awarded to members of the Armed
Forces and to United States citizens honorably wounded in action.
All residents of this state are requested to devote some portion
of Purple Heart Day to recognizing and commemorating the recipients
of the Purple Heart who have demonstrated a commitment to fighting
for the ideals which have made this nation great, have served this
nation so valiantly, and are role models for all to emulate.
It is the intent of the Oklahoma Legislature that:
1. The Governor execute a proclamation each year in recognition
of Purple Heart Day;
2. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs encourage the observance
of Purple Heart Day with appropriate activities;
3. Each local chapter of all veterans' organizations plan
special activities and events to honor the Purple Heart recipients
in that chapter; and
4. That the State of Oklahoma be designated as a Purple Heart
State in recognition of the many citizens of the state who have
earned the Purple Heart Medal as a result of being wounded while
engaged in combat with an enemy force.
