The mission of Purple Heart Foundation of North Carolina is to unite communities in honoring Purple Heart recipients and their families, while fostering fellowship among combat-wounded veterans.  This year in Fayetteville on Saturday, September 9th, at 12 noon,  A first of its kind in the State of North Carolina event is scheduled in Fayetteville’s Crown Ballroom.  A $25 per ticket to the general public catered luncheon will be held to Recognize Families of Prisoners of War and soldiers Missing in Action (there are about 1500 missing soldiers across the USA and 38 across North Carolina – but down from 39 just a few weeks back.)  The luncheon is open to all ticketed individuals - and includes a memorial service to honor our special guests, as well as distinctive recognition for those who remain Missing in Action. 



Each POW and MIA family will receive a thoughtful gift as a way to acknowledge their sacrifice and know they are not forgotten. 

As the first of our Talkback guests today reminds us, tickets to the event about two weeks from today (on Saturday, September 9th) are still available at Eventbrite.com (Spelled EVENT-B-R-I-T-E-dot-COM.) and searching for NC POW MIA Recognition..... NC POW MIA Recognition.....

Good luck to all students starting school in Cumberland County.
