Arizona’s Commitment to the Purple Heart Trail
Arizona is proudly recognized as a Purple Heart State, with active participation from counties, cities, tribal communities, and educational institutions across the state. Local proclamations formally recognize the commitment to honoring Purple Heart recipients at every level.
Through the leadership of MOPHAZ members and community partners, Arizona’s trail continues to grow as a living testament to sacrifice.
Where the Trail Runs in Arizona
The Purple Heart Trail winds through nearly every region of our state, thanks to the efforts of local leaders, veterans, and citizens who have chosen to recognize those who’ve sacrificed in service to our nation.
