Trump honors veterans on Purple Heart Day
U.S. President Donald Trump (right) shakes hands with Thomas Matteo following a White House event honoring dozens of recipients on Purple Heart Day, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on August 7, 2025. Matteo was one of three veterans who sent their purple heart medals to Trump. All U.S. military services award Purple Hearts to those wounded or killed in action. Trump never served in uniform, having received five deferments from the draft, the last for bone spurs in his feet. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
