2693 Purple Heart

Each year, West Citrus Elks Lodge #2693 hosts a breakfast for the Arron A. Weaver Chapter 776 Military Order of the Purple Heart. This year, the lodge was proclaimed a Purple Heart lodge. Designation as a Purple Heart entity is reserved for organizations that have exhibited noteworthy patriotic support of our nation's armed forces, its veterans and the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

Presenting the Purple Heart lodge proclamation and plaque to West Citrus Lodge are Cmdr. Richard Allen (left) and Sergeant at Arms, Rick Allen (right). Accepting the proclamation and plaque are Jean Buck-Newhouse and Joann Hepner, co-chairmen of the Veterans Committee; and Brian Estus, Exalted Ruler.
