'Turnback Tuesday' highlights Purple Heart Association convention
Turnback Tuesday presents this ribbon from the 1st National Convention of the Purple Heart Association of the United States held in Derby Oct. 6-7, 1933 at the Sterling Opera House.
The convention brought in many delegates from around the country. The Opera House was filled with many spectators, dignitaries and others.
The Secretary of the Pennsylvania Purple Heart Association was quite the fiery speaker. During the convention, committees were formed as well as rules and the national officers were selected.
The National Commander chosen was Frank Cushner from Ansonia. After the convention, a parade traveled through the towns of Derby, Ansonia, and Shelton.
This ribbon is a recent donation to the Derby Public Library by Robert Ahearn.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
