On Tuesday, July 21, 2020, President Steve, Lenet Compton and other Lenexa Rotarians were at Lenexa City Hall to recognize Lenexa as a Purple Heart City. The designation serves as a continual recognition of the 1.6 million Americans who have received a Purple Heart medal, which is awarded to members of the armed forces who are wounded or killed in action. More than 900 cities across the country have taken the step to declare themselves Purple Heart cities.
