VSO Looking for Lynnfield Purple Heart Recipients

Are you a Purple Heart recipient? Do you know a Purple Heart recipient living in Lynnfield? The Purple Heart 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. I would like to find all Purple Heart recipients in Lynnfield. The National Organization for the Military Order of the Purple Heart has a program through which a city or town can be designated as a Purple Heart community. Eligibility is based on specific criteria, which I can discuss with a Massachusetts area Purple Heart representative. Over 750 American Communities, including many in Massachusetts, have become Purple Heart cities or towns. It would be a great honor for the Town of Lynnfield to be included as one of those communities. Please call or email me if you are, or if you know of a Purple Heart recipient in Lynnfield. I can be reached at 781-334-9440 or veteransaffairs@town.lynnfield.ma.us.

Any questions, please let me know. Thank you.
