In 2019 the Select Board proclaimed that the Town of Wilton would annually recognize August 7th as Purple Heart Day and issued a proclamation that "…urged the people and organizations of Wilton to display the American Flag as well as other public expressions of recognition of our Purple Heart recipients."
Purple Heart Day is observed every year on August 7, and we honor and remember the brave current and former service members who were wounded or killed in action while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
