Honoring Our Vets: When the Color Purple Comes Together

Purple is more than a color; it’s a reminder of what unites us. In this reflection from HuffPost, the color purple is used to symbolize the way our military service members rise above division. They serve not for one side, but for the whole country. That same spirit of unity is what drives Purple Heart Homes.

Founded by two combat-wounded veterans, Purple Heart Homes embodies the idea that service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. Every home they build or modify is a message of gratitude, a way to honor the sacrifices made in the name of shared values like freedom, respect, and family. This article shines a light on those values and the people and organizations that keep them alive.
