State Representative Roy Klopfenstein (R-Haviland) introduced legislation that honors service members who received the Purple Heart.
A portion of U.S. 24 to the Paulding County Line will be designated as the “Paulding County Purple Heart Memorial Highway.” Purple Heart recipients are service members who have been wounded or killed while in the line of duty.
“As we honor our service members during Military Appreciation Month, I wanted to introduce legislation that will serve as a visual reminder to remember our veterans who bravely fought to protect our freedoms,” said Klopfenstein. “We owe our service men and women a debt that can never be truly repaid. May God bless our fallen heroes and military members at home and abroad.” The measure awaits a bill number and committee assignment.
