The New Boston Select Board read and adopted a proclamation recognizing Aug. 7 as Purple Heart Day during its Aug. 3 meeting. The proclamation noted the service and sacrifice of local residents awarded the Purple Heart and urged residents and organizations to display the American flag and other purple recognitions.
The chair read background information on the Purple Heart's origins, noting the decoration's creation in 1782 and quoted language from the town proclamation. The chair also noted the document was signed in November 2019 by local officials (recorded in the draft as Joseph Constance, Christine Quirk and Karen Scott). The proclamation will be observed annually and placed on the town's records.
