Today, we recognized some of our Veterans for their service and sacrifice to our nation. Thank you VA Secretary Doug Collins for remembering our Community Living Center patients that you met earlier this year during your visit and sending them your personal SecVA coin and a personal letter. Your kind gesture means so much to our inpatient Veterans and they still talk fondly of your visit with them.

We also recognized some of our Purple Heart patients. These brave men were wounded while in uniform, fighting for our country. We thank them for their selfless commitment to our nation and their courage in the face of danger. We are truly grateful for their selfless sacrifice!

Purple Heart Day, observed annually on August 7, honors U.S. military service members wounded or killed in combat, commemorating a legacy of bravery and sacrifice that dates back to 1782. The Purple Heart stands apart among military awards because it is given not for voluntary acts but as a mark of sacrifice endured in enemy attacks. It symbolizes both the bloodshed and courage of those who have suffered to defend freedom.

By reflecting on the bravery of Purple Heart recipients and supporting veterans and their families, we ensure their sacrifices are honored with the dignity they deserve. Today offers us an opportunity to recognize true heroism in American military history.

Today, we reflect on the storied past and vital contributions of this essential branch of the U.S. military. For more than two centuries, the Coast Guard has been at the forefront of safeguarding shores, ensuring maritime safety, and responding to emergencies both at home and abroad.

As we celebrate the 235th birthday of the U.S. Coast Guard, we pay tribute to the men and women who have served and continue to serve with honor and distinction. The Coast Guard’s rich history, enduring values, and unwavering commitment to protecting the nation’s maritime interests are a source of pride and inspiration.

Anyone can be impacted by human trafficking. Family and intimate partners are the second and third most common recruiters of victims into trafficking, according to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Emotional abuse, economic abuse, and threats are the top three methods of coercion.

VA is ready to assist Veterans impacted by human trafficking by helping identify risk and providing immediate care.
