Every purchase = donation to veteran scholarships

August 7th is Purple Heart Day here in the United States, so today, we're honoring and celebrating this country's incredible veterans for their service.

What Is the Purple Heart?

The Purple Heart commemorates those who have been killed or wounded in combat during their military service. It's a recognition of their bravery and sacrifice, and today, it's the oldest military award still given to service members.

One notable recipient is Charles Barger, a Missouri native who served in France during World War I. He was awarded ten Purple Hearts for his injuries along with the military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor.

In honor of Purple Heart Day, we'd like to extend a heartfelt "thank you" to the amazing veterans in our Herbaly community. We truly appreciate your service and sacrifice—today is for you!

In celebration of last year's Purple Heart Day, we raised over $5,000 for Charitable Service Trust, an organization that empowers veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity.

This year, our goal is to surpass last year's donation and send it to Thanks USA, a charity which provides need-based scholarships for children and spouses of our troops.

Until midnight tonight, we're donating 10% of all sales revenue to Thanks USA.

On Monday, we will share the results with all those who contributed to this great cause.

If you've been wanting to try a new product, restock on your favorites, or even send a gift to a loved one, now is the perfect time to commit to a more meaningful purchase.
