HAMLET — A new sign has been installed at the Disabled American Veterans-Purple Heart facility on N.C. 177.
The sign is located near the Huey helicopter, similar to those flown in the Korean and Vietnam wars.
The sign was placed in honor of all disabled and Purple Heart veterans for their sacrifice in military service by Larry and Ann Doby Mercer. Also noted, it was installed in 2026 in commemoration of America’s 250th birthday.
All DAV and Purple Heart veterans are honored and welcome to attend the month meetings. DAV Chapter 59 meets at 5:30 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month; and the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 647 meets at 6 p.m. on the third Monday of each month.
