6:56Now PlayingPresident Trump on Thursday afternoon is hosting an event at the White House to honor Purple Heart Day — a day dedicated to the memory of veterans who have been wounded or killed on the battlefield.
"The Purple Heart is one of our nation’s highest, but most solemn military honors — recognizing those who have performed an act of courage for our country that can never be repaid," White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers Taylor Rogers told NewsNation, The Hill's sister network.
"President Trump cares deeply about honoring our brave men and women in uniform, and today, he will recognize those who have earned this distinction and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom," Rogers added. "There is no one more deserving of our gratitude than these great American heroes.”
Trump will be joined by 100 Purple Heart recipients, including three men who gifted him their medals after the July 2024 assassination attempt in Pennsylvania against the then-GOP nominee for president, according to The Associated Press.
The event in the East Room is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. EDT.
