The Obama administration is turning
its back on America’s heroes.
There are few symbols more powerful
than the Purple Heart. Whether displayed next to a carefully-folded flag on a
mantle, on a fraying old uniform at a veteran’s parade, or even on a license
plate designating the driver as “combat-wounded,” the Purple Heart is
synonymous with service and sacrifice.
For the families of the slain,
Purple Hearts are treasured heirlooms, not only preserving the memory of the
fallen but providing deep meaning to their sacrifice, a meaning that harkens
back to the Gospel of John: “Greater love hath no man than this, that one lay
down in his life for his friends.”
For the combat-wounded living, the
Purple Heart is more than a symbol, entitling veterans to health care and
benefits a grateful nation provides those who’ve bled in her service.
