Citrus County proclaims August 7 as Purple Heart Day
Summary
The board adopted a proclamation recognizing August 7, 2026 as Purple Heart Day and honored local Purple Heart recipients at the meeting.
The Citrus County Board of County Commissioners formally recognized August 7, 2026 as Purple Heart Day and paid tribute to combat‑wounded veterans at the start of its July meeting.
A staff reader recited the proclamation, noting the history of the decoration and the governor’s 2012 designation of August 7 as Purple Heart Day. A Purple Heart recipient told the board they were "humbled to be here receiving this honor in the best county of the best state of the best nation in the world," and thanked commissioners for the recognition.
The board moved forward to the consent agenda after the proclamation and public acknowledgement of the county’s Purple Heart recipients.
