NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. — Gen. David Petraeus paid tribute to more than 400 veterans — including 100 recipients of the Purple Heart — Friday in upstate New York.
The Army general picked by President Barack Obama to replace the U.S. military’s top commander in Afghanistan was the keynote speaker at the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor Tribute in New Windsor.
He didn’t mention his current assignments, focusing instead on the sacrifice of the gathered veterans, especially those who earned the Purple Heart, an honor bestowed on those wounded or killed in combat.
