Background:

The Purple Heart was the first American Service Award or decoration made available to the common soldier and is specifically awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces who have been wounded or paid the ultimate sacrifice in combat with a declared enemy of the United States of America.    The City of Sunrise appreciates the sacrifices our Purple Heart recipients made in defending our freedoms and believe it is important that we acknowledge them for there courage and show them the honor and support they have earned.  This proclamation to recognize the City of Sunrise as a Purple Heart City was recommended by the Veteran's Advisory Board.
