Purple Heart School Proclamation Ceremony
Veterans and Purple Heart recipients were honored on November 7, by the Georgia School of Orthodontics (GSO) at a special Purple Heart Proclamation Ceremony at its Sandy Springs facility. GSO was named an official Purple Heart School during the ceremony, as it provides complimentary orthodontic care to children of Purple Heart recipients.
National, state and local members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart and Sandy Springs District 1 Councilman John Paulson, a Vietnam veteran, participated in the ceremony with a proclamation signing and raising of the Military Order of the Purple Heart flag.
