Today is Purple Heart Day. This is a time for Americans to remember the brave men and women who were either wounded in battle or paid the ultimate sacrifice. Join us as we honor the bravery of those who have fought for our country and ensure that their courage is never forgotten.

We also remember the historic day in 1782 when General George Washington, Commander-In-Chief of the Continental Army, commissioned the first Purple Heart Medal, originally called the Badge of Military Merit.

Today marks the 79th anniversary of Operation Overlord, which is now widely known as D-Day. Over 1.5 million U.S. Army personnel and 250,000 from Canada arrived in the U.K. to support the invasion, along with more than 7 million tons of supplies and ammunition. We pay tribute to the courageous soldiers who made the historic landings successful through their unwavering commitment.

Thank you for everything you do for our Veterans Jessica!

Jessica Mack, an Air Force Veteran and Peer Specialist, has this to say about why she chooses VA: "I get to continue to serve a mission bigger than myself and betterment of fellow humans. The system helped me when I needed it, and continues to provide support when I need it. I want to be there when others need VA Bedford."
