Purple Heart Reunion Picnic
North Carolina's original celebration of Purple Heart heroes returns with a "Reunion Picnic" in Wake Forest. This 12th annual tribute hosted by the Wake Forest Purple Heart Foundation invites the public to honor those wounded in defense of this country.
In addition to Purple Heart Medal recipients and families, the event is open to all veterans, military families and the public. The most recent celebration in 2019 saluted 80 Purple Heart recipients from around the Triangle. (The banquet was not held in 2020 due to Covid restrictions). The reunion features a picnic lunch, music, games for kids and patriotic tributes.
If you'd like to donate the cost of a ticket for a veteran's guest, contributions may be made payable to Purple Heart Foundation, P.O. Box 168, Wake Forest, NC, 27588. Sponsors are needed to make this tribute possible. Sponsorship levels are Gold ($2,000+), Purple ($1,000), Blue ($500), White ($250) and Red ($100).
