The Purple Heart is the oldest military medal. It was created by George Washington and awarded to those who were killed or wounded in action. Wear purple today in honor of their sacrifice.
Brought to you by a Revolutionary War Patriot!

St. Tammany Chapter was honored to be a part of a Key Ceremony for Ret. Army Sgt. Ryan Major. A Soldier’s Journey Home ( ASJH), an organization that builds homes for severely wounded combat veterans, presented Sgt. Major with keys to his new, mortgage free home. When the chapter learned of this build in our community, we reached out to the crew of ASJH and offered to stock his pantry. In addition, Vicki Kirby, State Chair and Chapter Chair Flag of the United States of America, presented the sergeant with a U.S. Flag that was flown over DAR Memorial Hall in Washington, D.C. Chapter Regent Debra Bridgeman presented the certificate to Sgt. Major.
Susan Crittendon, local quilter, presented her hand made quilt at the ceremony. So many businessses and people came together to make this a memorable day for the veteran. Check out next post about A Soldier’s Journey Home.
