Today, August 7, the Bear Valley Community Services District joins communities across the nation in recognizing Purple Heart Day and honoring U.S. service members who were wounded or killed in action.

We are grateful to the brave men and women who have sacrificed in service to our country and our freedoms.
In February 2024, the Bear Valley CSD formally designated Bear Valley Springs as a Purple Heart Community in recognition and support of our wounded veterans.

Following the designation, a group of resident volunteers came together to create the Purple Heart Honor Garden, located just inside the gate. The Honor Garden was officially unveiled in July 2025 and provides a place for our community to recognize and remember those who have received the Purple Heart.

Today, we remember their service and sacrifice and thank all of our Purple Heart recipients for their dedication to our country.
