Abilene Reporter News: Backing the Purple.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz may not be welcome in China, but he scored points with veterans this week. Cruz has co-sponsored legislation that directs the Treasury Department to issue $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins and half-dollar clad coins in 2022 to honor Purple Heart recipients and the National Purple Heart Honor Mission. He did this Aug. 7, which is Purple Heart Day. Something to look forward to.
