伊利诺伊州长 J.B. Pritzker 签署公告，宣布11月11日为全州紫心家庭日
伊利诺伊州州长 J.B. Pritzker 签署公告，宣布2026年11月11日为伊利诺伊州的紫心家庭日（Purple Heart Family Day）。公告落款2026年11月10日，在州府 Springfield 签发，Springfield 位于伊利诺伊州桑加蒙县，州务卿 Alexi Giannoulias 会签。
紫心勋章源于 George Washington 设立的军功徽章，是美国历史最久的军事荣誉之一，授予在战斗中负伤或阵亡的军人。公告回溯了这枚勋章的来历，向伊利诺伊州获得紫心勋章的军人表达敬意。
这份公告的着重点不只在受勋军人本人，也在他们的家庭。公告把11月11日这一天定给紫心勋章获得者的家人，承认军人在战场上付出的代价，长期由家庭共同承担。
11月11日是美国退伍军人节。伊利诺伊州把紫心家庭日放在同一天，让全州的退伍军人纪念里专门留出一个位置，给负伤军人和他们的家人。
州长公告是伊利诺伊州设立纪念日的常用方式，不需要议会立法，随公告签发即行生效。

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker Signs Proclamation Declaring November 11 Purple Heart Family Day Statewide
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed a proclamation declaring November 11, 2026, Purple Heart Family Day in Illinois. The proclamation is dated November 10, 2026, and was issued in Springfield, the state capital in Sangamon County, Illinois, co-signed by Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias.
The Purple Heart traces its origins to the Badge of Military Merit established by George Washington and is among the oldest U.S. military honors, awarded to service members wounded or killed in action. The proclamation recounts that history and expresses the state's gratitude to Illinois residents who have earned the medal.
The observance is directed not only at recipients but at their families. By naming the day for Purple Heart families, the proclamation recognizes that the cost of battlefield wounds is carried over the long term by households as well as by the service members themselves.
November 11 is Veterans Day in the United States. Setting Purple Heart Family Day on the same date reserves a distinct place within the state's veterans observances for wounded service members and their families.
Gubernatorial proclamations are Illinois' standard way of establishing commemorative days; they take effect on issuance without legislative action.
