Whereas, many men and women in uniform have given their lives while serving in the Armed Forces; and
Whereas, the Purple Heart is the oldest military decoration in present use and was initially created as the Badge of Military Merit by General George Washington in 1782; and
Whereas, the Purple Heart was the first American service award or decoration made available to the common soldier and is specifically awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces who have been wounded or paid the ultimate sacrifice in combat with a declared enemy of the United States of America; and
Whereas, the mission of the Military Order of the Purple Heart is to foster an environment of goodwill among the combat- wounded veteran members and their families, promote patriotism, support legislative initiatives, and most importantly make sure we never forget; and
Whereas, the County of Kendall has a large, highly decorated veteran population, many who have earned the Purple Heart Medal as a result of being wounded while engaged in combat with an enemy force, construed as a singularly meritorious act of essential service.
Therefore, Be It Proclaimed that the Board of the County of Kendall, Illinois hereby proclaims the County of Kendall as a Purple Heart County, and encourages the residents of the County of Kendall to show their appreciation for the sacrifices the Purple Heart recipients have made in defending our freedoms, to acknowledge their courage, and show them the honor and support they have earned.
