The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor


Since we at the Arts Council work closely with The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor through the Arts for Vets program, we thought it would be a great idea to share their upcoming event in our blog. The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor and the New Windsor Cantonment invite you to share our thanks to the sacrifices of America’s military. The day begins with a concert by the 89th New York Guard Band. Learn about our military history with a military time line representing the American soldiers from the17th through the 20th centuries, including weapons demonstrations. The Veteran's Administration will have outreach services for a wide range of veteran’s needs. Learn about the history of the Purple Heart, America’s oldest military decoration. We as well as many others, including artists who will be doing demonstrations during the event, will be attending. Artists include Daniel Mack, demonstrating traditional mortise and tenon joinery, Bob Breur, wood carving, and Najim Chechen with wood working and clay molding. We hope to see many familar faces this Saturday, August 8th from 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.! Have a great weekend and see you there!
