Salina Designated POW – MIA City - NewsBreak

Two weeks ago I was in Moscow, ID, helping with the presentation of their "Purple Heart City" plaque. Today we had a presentation at North Idaho College proclaiming them a "Purple Heart College." The purpose of this program operated by the Military Order of the Purple Heart is to educate people about the history of the Award of Military Merit, the progenitor of the Purple Heart as America's oldest decoration and of the sacrifice of life and blood by all those awarded the Purple Heart since it was established in 1932.
