Over 300,000 stories from individuals who earned the Purple Heart are stored at the Hall of Honor. However, only about 5,000 have been edited and are currently available to be viewed by the public.
"Please give us time to catalog and edit those thousands of stories," said Don Hughes, a retired Air Force three-star general and one of the persons responsible for creating the Hall of Honor. "We are working to solve the problem."
The Hall of Honor, located in New Windsor, New York, includes a 7,500-square-foot facility with a reception area, gallery, exhibit hall, learning and education center for school groups and a presentation room. Through historical photographs, documentary films and videotapes by veterans, the Hall will provide a multimedia show, exploring the spirit of the American fighting man and woman in times of crisis.
Families who would like to share their story or materials of Purple Heart
recipients to be considered for exhibition, should contact the National Purple
Heart Hall of Honor, P.O. Box 207, Vails Gate, NY, 12584 or call (845) 561-1765.
The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor celebrates Purple Heart recipients.
