Harrold Chapter 75 Vietnam Veterans of America in Leavenworth, Kansas, recently presented an official plaque designating Ozark County as a “Purple Heart County.” The Ozark County Commissioners voted in July to become a “Purple Heart County,” a designation made by the Military Order of the Purple Heart to signify that a county honors Purple Heart medal recipients and the sacrifices they’ve made to earn the decoration, which is awarded to members of the armed forces who were wounded or killed while serving. Accepting the plaque Monday morning were, from left: Ozark County Clerk Brian Wise, Circuit Clerk and Recorder Jackie Smith, Schley, State Representative Travis Smith, Eastern County Commissioner Gary Collins, Western County Commissioner Layne Nance, Presiding Commissioner Terry Newton, State Senator Karla Eslinger and County Assessor Jayma Berry.
