On Thursday August 7, 2025, Governor Albert Bryan Jr. and Lt. Governor Tregenza Roach Esq. will participate in an in-person proclamation signing ceremony in honor and remembrance of Virgin Islanders who were wounded or killed in action while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
The Office of Veterans Affairs is inviting Purple Heart Veterans to join the Governor and Lt. Governor for this short but meaningful event as the Purple Heart Day Proclamation is signed in their honor on Thursday, August 7th, at Government House St Thomas at 9am.
Members of the community are also invited; however, for planning purposes, we are asking for all who are wishing to attend (Purple Heart Veterans and the community) to RSVP by calling our office at (340) 774-8387 no later than Tuesday, August 5.
NOTE: There are free accommodations for 5 Purple Heart Veterans from the St. Croix district to travel to St. Thomas to take part in this event. Any St. Croix Purple Heart Veteran interested in being a part of this event please call Mrs. Gordon in the ST Croix office at (340) 244-3579 as soon as possible so that the necessary arrangements can be made. Accommodations will be provided on a first-come first-served basis.
The community is invited to wear a shirt or other garment, purple in color, on August 7 to show their support for our beloved Purple Heart Veterans.
