National Purple Heart Day 2025

National Purple Heart Day is observed every year on August 7th to honor U.S. Service Members who were wounded or killed in combat. TeamVetCV would like to take the time to recognize the bravery and sacrifice of those recipients of the United States Military’s oldest award.


Today, we’d like to honor Purple Heart Recipient, Vietnam Veteran, and VetCV Foundation Board President Pete McKanna (SGT, USMC Ret.)
