Purple Heart Flag Act
HR 4765, the Purple Heart Flag Act, designates a specific flag featuring the Military Order of the Purple Heart seal on a purple field as the official "Purple Heart Flag." It requires this flag to be publicly displayed on five designated days annually (Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, National POW/MIA Recognition Day, and Veterans Day) at specific federal locations, including national war memorials, all national cemeteries, and buildings housing the Secretaries of State, Defense, and Veterans Affairs, as well as VA medical centers. The bill establishes a new section in the U.S. Code to formalize this designation and display requirement. It does not create new policies or benefits but mandates the display of this flag at the specified locations and times.
