Purple Heart and Veterans Parking Dedication has a mission to help communities and businesses honor our military heroes through reserved parking spaces for veterans and Purple Heart recipients that are dedicated in the name and memory of a departed hero. The dedication events, started by former Green Beret and Army Ranger Enrique Murillo are starting to make an impact in the communities they are reaching.
The history behind this dedication's roots and how keeping the memories of the fallen is the heart of the events.
Enrique Murillo, former Army Ranger, and Green Beret, and how he turned the need for a parking spot into a community effort to honor our brothers and sisters in arms.
How the families are the focus and the importance of suicide awareness and prevention.
Jeff's personal connection to the event through his history of serving with Ricky Murillo and his personal connections to three of the honored: William "Willy" Lubbers, Tony Yost, and Christopher Hartsock.
The brave and too soon departed that is already being honored with the dedicated parking spaces, and the businesses leading the way to make this a worthy and noble cause.
Never Forget these heroes or let their memory fade:
