  • Summary

  • Decorated Army veteran, (Ret.) Master Sgt. Patricia Baisden shares how the Purple Heart is more than just the medal awarded for being wounded in combat.

    She described how years after her service, The Purple Heart Foundation helped her in ways the federal government does not. More than complex medical issues or acquiring the benefits she earned, she received help with life’s basic needs … car trouble.

    Her story illustrates how Purple Heart Foundation’s financial assistance really delivers the things veterans need most.

    We also hear from PHF, CEO Stephen Ruckman, who describes their veteran programs and explains why your donations are crucial to ensure these programs continue.
