Las Vegas, NV — August 5, 2025 will forever stand as a proud and heartfelt moment in Clark County’s history. In a moving ceremony, the Clark County Commission officially proclaimed the county as a Purple Heart Supporter, honoring the sacrifices of America’s combat-wounded veterans and reaffirming our community’s unwavering gratitude.
The proclamation ceremony, held on Purple Heart Day, brought together leaders, organizations, and citizens dedicated to honoring military service. The event recognized the courage of Purple Heart recipients—men and women who have endured the cost of freedom in defense of our nation.
Among those in attendance were members of the Armed Forces Chamber, steadfast in their mission to advocate for and uplift the veteran community. They were joined by Strength and Flight, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering underserved communities, and Ephraims David Las Vegas, USA, a global fashion brand with deep local roots and a passion for community engagement.
For these organizations, participation was not just symbolic—it was personal. Many members have close family ties to the military or have worked alongside veterans in community projects. The event was a powerful reminder that honoring veterans is not limited to a single day, but is a commitment woven into the fabric of Clark County’s values.
The Purple Heart Supporter designation is more than a title; it is a pledge to continue advocating for veterans’ needs, preserving their stories, and ensuring that the sacrifices they’ve made are never forgotten.
As the community stood united—Purple Heart recipients, officials, advocates, and residents—it was clear that August 5, 2025, marked not just a proclamation, but a promise: Clark County will always stand with its heroes.
