IN THE NEWS
Fifth Annual
Purple Heart Ceremony
Chapter 776’s Fifth Annual Purple Heart Ceremony was an overwhelming success thanks to the dedicated and energetic efforts of project officer and master of ceremonies Patriot Richard Hunt. Patriot Hunt, who is new to the chapter, stepped forward to assume the project officer role from Patriot Don Guard who had to relinquish it for health reasons. The very moving and inspiring ceremony honoring Florida’s fallen heroes of the Afghanistan/Iraq campaigns and America’s wounded warriors had close to 400 persons in attendance including family members of Citrus County’s fallen heroes. Also attending were 18 local elected officials including all five county commissioners and the mayors of Crystal River and Inverness.
