This bill designates the state of Michigan as a "purple heart state" to honor and express gratitude for the courageous individuals who have been wounded or killed while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The designation serves to recognize the sacrifices made by these service members, which are essential for maintaining the sovereignty of the United States.

The bill includes new legal language stating, "THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT," which formalizes the enactment of this designation. This initiative aims to foster a sense of appreciation and respect for veterans and active-duty military personnel within the state.
