The Purple Heart City designation is a way for communities to honor and recognize the sacrifices made by military members who have been wounded or killed in combat. This designation is not a federal law but is typically adopted by local governments or through the Military Order of the Purple Heart. The process can vary by location, but many cities work with the Military Order of the Purple Heart to finalize this honorary status.
