Gwinnett Daily Post: Lawrenceville man honored by Purple Heart Patriot Project

Lawrenceville resident Louis Zayas, who served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, has been selected as a 2023 Purple Heart Patriot Project honoree.

During the week of Sept. 18, Zayas will serve as Georgia’s representative at a multi-day tribute to America’s combat wounded at the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, located just north of West Point, New York, not far from the site where Gen. George Washington created the Badge of Military Merit — the forerunner of today’s Purple Heart medal — more than 240 years ago.
