The 2024 Purple Heart Dinner was a truly special evening, filled with great camaraderie and a heartfelt celebration of the brave men and women who’ve earned the Purple Heart for their service to our country. We were honored to have Evangelo Morris as our guest speaker. His powerful poems and moving tribute to Old Glory brought everyone together and reminded us all of the deep meaning behind the Purple Heart and the sacrifices made by our veterans. His words truly made the evening unforgettable.

​

One of the highlights of the night was having over 45 Purple Heart veterans with us. Their presence was a reminder of the courage and sacrifice they’ve given for our freedom. It was humbling to be in the room with so many heroes. We also had a table of Korean War veterans who were honored for their service, and their stories touched everyone in attendance.

We want to give a huge thank you to all the volunteers and the incredible staff at the Paradise Room at the Atlantis. They worked hard to make sure everything went smoothly, and we couldn’t have done it without them.

​

Looking back at the success of the 2024 Purple Heart Dinner, we’re excited to start planning for the 2025 event. We hope to make it even better and continue honoring those who have earned the Purple Heart in a way that truly shows how much we appreciate their sacrifices.

​

This dinner is more than just a gathering – it’s about honoring the heroes who gave so much for our country. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make the 2024 dinner so meaningful, and we look forward to continuing to support our veterans together in the future.
