On Wednesday, Cameron County proudly unveiled its Purple Heart County sign at the Cameron County Courthouse as part of our Veterans Day observance.
This project is about more than signs. It is about recognizing the courage, sacrifice, and service of the men and women who have been wounded in defense of our nation and ensuring that their contributions are never forgotten.
The initiative, spearheaded by Commissioner James Moate in collaboration with Joe Williams, Cameron County Veterans Affairs Coordinator, will bring eight signs to locations throughout the County, serving as lasting reminders of our designation as a Purple Heart County and our place on the Purple Heart Trail.
We were honored to have representatives from the offices of State Senator Cris Dush and Congressman Glenn "GT" Thompson join us for this special occasion, along with the Cameron County Memorial Detail, several municipal representatives, and all three Cameron County Commissioners.
A special thank-you to Joe Williams and to the municipalities, property owners, veterans' organizations, state agencies, and community members whose cooperation and support helped make this project possible.
Most importantly, we extend our deepest gratitude to our veterans and, especially, our Purple Heart recipients. We can never fully repay the sacrifices you have made, but we can make sure they are remembered.
Cameron County remembers.
Cameron County honors. Cameron County is grateful.
