Purple Heart Trail In Kansas
"Freedom Isn't Free"
Dedicated to the memory of
Michael L. Donovan
Captain, United States Air Force
Shot down by enemy fire 30 September 1971
Declared Killed in Action 1974
On May 13, 2003, Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius,
proclaimed the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System in Kansas,
as the "Purple Heart Trail." This trail memorializes those heroic
service members who have had the Purple Heart medal bestowed
on them for wounds received in defense of our Nation and
commemorates the patriotic American heritage given to us by
General George Washington, the father of our Country.
This trail is a project of The Military Order of the Purple Heart
(MOPH) comprised of patriots who have been wounded in combat
while in service of the United States of America. The MOPH
promotes principles of patriotism and dedication to duty, and
objectives of respect, fraternalism, history, and education.
The "Purple Heart Trail" parallels the interstate highways, and does
not replace current names and tributes to individuals and organizations.
