§ 25-90.7. Purple Heart Week.

Latest version.

The last week of May of each year is hereby established as "Purple Heart Week" in Oklahoma. The Purple Heart, as established by George Washington in 1782 and revived in 1932, is a decoration of honor awarded to members of the Armed Forces and to United States citizens honorably wounded in action.
All residents of this state are requested to devote some portion of Purple Heart Week to recognizing and commemorating the recipients of the Purple Heart who have demonstrated a commitment to fighting for the ideals which have made this nation great, have served this nation so valiantly, and are role models for all to emulate.
It is the intent of the Oklahoma Legislature that:
1. The Governor execute a proclamation each year in recognition of Purple Heart Week;
2. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs encourage the observance of Purple Heart Week with appropriate activities; and
3. Each local chapter of all veterans' organizations plan special activities and events to honor the Purple Heart recipients in that chapter.
