In an effort make Stamford a Purple Heart City, the City and Stamford Veterans Council is trying to collect names of those Stamford residents who have received a Purple Heart medal. 

If any of you have received a Purple Heart medal or know of a fellow veteran who has earned one, please let me know so we can start the process of collecting names.

We envision a ceremony on August 7th, National Purple Heart Day, where we can recognize those recipients who are still with us and/or families of those who are deceased and be officially declared a Purple Heart City.

If you are a Purple Heart recipient or know someone who has received a Purple Heart and would like to include your/their name in our list, please click on this link or email your contact information to  stamford.vets.council@gmail.com.

This information is also on our website at this page.

Here are some links regarding this effort.
