Today, and every year on Aug 7th, we honor the brave men and women who have been wounded or killed in service to this country. The Purple Heart reminds us of the true cost of war — not just in dollars, but in lives forever changed.The best way to serve our veterans is to stop creating more of them.End the endless wars. Bring our troops home. Support the Defend the Guard Act — legislation that prevents the deployment of National Guard units to foreign conflicts without a congressional declaration of war.Honor their sacrifice by defending peace.
