National Purple Heart Day is observed on August 7 each year and is a time for Americans to remember and honor the brave men and women who represented our country and were either wounded on the battlefield, or paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.

Join the City of Dunedin in this special ceremony as we honor and pay tribute to all Veterans with special focus on Purple Heart recipients who have earned the military tribute by virtue of their bravery and sacrifice. This event is presented by Dunedin Parks & Recreation.

Did you know? The Dunedin Parks & Recreation Department provides a special opportunity to pay tribute to a Purple Heart recipient through the Purple Heart Commemorative Brick Program. By completing the Commemorative Brick Program form(PDF, 139KB) and donating $100, you can have a brick engraved to commemorate a Purple Heart recipient which will then become a part of the “Walk of Honor” at Purple Heart Park.
