Re: 
Purple Heart Village 

On November 4, 2013, the Village Board of Trustees adopted a resolution declaring Croton-on-
Hudson a “Purple Heart Village.” The Military Order of the Purple Heart has a movement to have all 
communities declare their support for wounded veterans by adopting these resolutions. It is normal in 
these communities to have signage signaling the declaration and support. However, for reasons 
unknown, the Village has not erected signage announcing its status as a Purple Heart Village. 

I have conferred with the Fox-Eklof American Legion Post 505 and they are supportive of the effort 
to have signage erected. My recommendation is that two signs be purchased to be posted at our 
welcome signs along Albany Post Road and Route 129. Below is an example of what the signage 
would look like.
