New signs acknowledge 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock as 鈥楶urple Heart University鈥�]]> The University of Arkansas at Little Rock recently received the signage for its designation as a 鈥淧urple Heart University,鈥� a moniker signifying the university鈥檚 recognition and support for veterans who were wounded in combat while serving the country. 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock received this honor in the fall of 2016 and is now among 40 colleges and universities with the distinction, as awarded by the Military Order of the Purple Heart, a national nonprofit organization whose membership consists of veterans who have been awarded the Purple Heart medal for wounds received in combat.
