CHAPTER & DEPARTMENT Pause to remember... In honor of Purple Heart Day, members of Chapter 108 of Cape Coral, Fla., took part in a ceremony by the Coconut Creek Seminole Casino to pay their respects to the nation’s combat wounded. Purple Heart Day is observed on Aug. 7 each year and is a time for Americans to pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who were either wounded on the battlefield or paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.
