Trump to Host Purple Heart Ceremony Honoring Veterans
President Trump will hold a special event at the White House to celebrate almost 100 people who received the Purple Heart medal.
This medal is given to soldiers who were hurt or killed while fighting for their country.
The ceremony will happen on National Purple Heart Day.
Some of the honored guests are veterans who sent their medals to Trump last year.
One of Trump's campaign managers, who also has a Purple Heart, will be there too.
The event will share inspiring stories of courage, like soldiers helping each other and a father and son both earning the medal.
This is a way to thank and remember those who have bravely served the nation.
President Trump will host a White House ceremony for nearly 100 Purple Heart recipients.
The event aligns with National Purple Heart Day and honors those wounded or killed in combat.
Among the attendees are veterans who sent their Purple Heart medals to Trump in 2024.
Chris LaCivita, Trump's 2024 campaign manager and a Purple Heart recipient, will attend.
The ceremony will highlight stories of bravery, including rescues and father-son veterans.
