Cowan Chapter 558 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart and Veterans Memorial Park will host an event to honor and commemorate recipients of the Purple Heart Medal.  The ceremony will be held near the Park’s Purple Heart Memorial. \nThe Purple Heart Medal is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action.
