Enrollment in the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor

As you may know, the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor is located in New Windsor, New York.  Our 7,500-foot facility includes exhibits, artifacts and Purple Heart recipient stories, which offer visitors an incredible journey through our country’s military history as well as reminders of the human sacrifice and cost of freedom.

The Purple Heart is one of the most recognized and respected medals awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces who were killed or wounded by enemy action, and The Hall of Honor is the nation’s sole repository dedicated to the collection and preservation of the stories of these Purple Heart recipients. 

The primary way in which we honor those awarded the Purple Heart and share their stories is through our Roll of Honor electronic database. This database is accessible in The Hall of Honor main gallery and on our website (www.thepurpleheart.com).  Because there is no comprehensive list of recipients upon which to draw, however, our database represents only a fraction of the estimated 1.8 million Purple Heart recipients.  We rely on friends, family, and the recipients themselves to share their information with us to build the Roll of Honor. 

We encourage recipients to share their stories with us. Purple Heart recipients simply need to complete the enclosed enrollment form and send it to the Hall of Honor along with copies of the supporting documents. Enrollment is voluntary and free of cost. Please do not hesitate to contact us at (845) 561-1765 if you would like additional information or have any questions.
