The Purple Heart was first created on August 7, 1782 by the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, General George Washington. Then known as the Badge of Military Merit, it was awarded to 3 Revolutionary soldiers in 1783.
After the end of the American War of Independence, no medals were awarded until 1932, when the medal was revived on the bicentennial anniversary of George Washington's birth. According to a circular dated February 22, 1932, Purple Heart Medals were to be awarded to those wounded or killed while serving in the United States Armed Forces as a result of enemy action on or after April 5, 1917. The United States officially joined the First World War on April 6, 1917.
At current estimates about 1.8 million Purple Hearts have been awarded since then.
Victory over Japan Day. On 2 September 1945, formal surrender occurred aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay Japan.
Our GA State Brother Johnboy is retiring from The U.S. Air Force on 5 Aug 2023!!!
It is time to save the date for the 6th Annual Southwest Rendezvous hosted this year by the Hardroad Chapter (TX-8) located in Amarillo, TX.
Date: Sept. 1 & 2, 2023.
Location: Amarillo, TX
1. Rooms and Reservations
We have blocked out 100 rooms at the host hotel for Saturday Only. If you plan on arriving on Friday, Sept. 1, 2023, and reserve your room, you should be able to lock in your room for Friday and Saturday at the same time for the same rate.
Since we do not know the exact numbers that would arrive on Friday, we do not want to be held liable for not filling rooms for that night.
If there is an issue with reserving your room, please contact: Brother Gjuicy at: gjuicyusmvmc@gmail.com.
2. SWR T-shirt and Coins.
We are currently working on SWR T-shirts and coins. Once the design is completed, an order form will be put out. We will only be accepting pre-orders and will have those items available at SWR.
3. Merchandise Table
We have approximately 12 large round tables for chapters to use if they want to sell any merchandise. First come, first serve. Some may have to share tables.
4. Weapons and Texas Law.
Texas is a Constitutional Carry State. Under that law, it must be open carry unless you have a Concealed Carry. Texas has many reciprocities with many states, so please check your state laws compared with Texas.
5. Helmet Law.
Texas does not have a mandatory helmet law except any rider under the age of 18 must wear a helmet.
Finally: Make your reservations early. If something happens afterwards and you are not able to make it, please cancel your reservation so another Brother may reserve that room.
**If your Chapter has a Banner, please bring it. We will have all banners hanging around the atrium of the hotel.
And you might want to bring a small lock to secure it to the railing. We don't want another chapter to take it by mistake. 😂
Brothers, TX-8 is striving to make this the best ever Southwest Rendezvous and set the bar high for the ones to follow. So come out, have an awesome time and share in the Brotherhood.
Due to a scheduling conflict, unfortunately we are canceling the RiverRat Ruckus on Sept 2nd. But don't worry...in 2024 we will be back for a bigger, badder weekend filled with Brotherhood, debauchery, tattoos, beer and generally bad decisions. In the meantime, don't forget about our WVA Combined annual on Sept 23rd.
