ANNANDALE, Va., Feb. 24, 2016 -- Perrywinkle's Fine Jewelry is once again teaming up with the Purple Heart Foundation to help veterans in need with an exclusive limited edition watch designed by the Vermont-based jeweler.
The stainless steel watch is designed for casual or formal wear and includes a Purple Heart Foundation logo engraved on the back. It is priced at $178.20 to represent the date in 1782 when General George Washington created the Badge of Military Merit, which later became the Purple Heart medal. The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces who are wounded in combat at the hands of the enemy.
A percentage of the proceeds from the watch sales will go directly to the Purple Heart Foundation to further the foundation's mission of honoring the sacrifice military veterans make for our country by helping them make a smooth transition from the battlefield to the home front. The foundation funds programs that assist veterans who are dealing with combat wounds, post traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries, and offers free services to help veterans access VA benefits for which they are entitled.
Perrywinkle's is the exclusive licensed jeweler of the Purple Heart Foundation. The company has been designing fine jewelry in Vermont and New York for 35 years.
"Support from companies like Perrywinkles is vital to our efforts to provide services, rehabilitation, and educational programs for not only combat wounded, but all veterans and their families," said Stephen Ruckman, CEO of the Purple Heart Foundation.
