The National Purple Heart Honor Mission is proud to announce that U.S. Army General (Ret.) David Perkins and former U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Megan Leavey will be the recipients of the 2019 Genesis Medal during the organization’s Annual Genesis Legacy Medal Dinner.
A dinner in their honor will be held on October 3, just north of West Point, New York. This year’s dinner follows the success of the organization’s recent Purple Heart Patriot Project that received national attention for bringing Purple Heart recipients from across the country to the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor and West Point. The Purple Heart Patriot Project, sponsored in part by American Airlines, is a new annual tribute program of the group.
