If you know someone who is a true hero and received a Purple Heart medal while on a tour of duty in Afghanistan, you will want to make sure they know how much their commitment meant to you, especially on Veteran's Day. One way to show them how much you respect and honor them is to give them a Purple Heart patch that has been specifically marked for those who served in Afghanistan.
Some veterans like to collect patches, and if that's the case with your recipient, you can easily give them this one to add to their collection. However, if your special veteran likes to wear hats or jackets, then you could easily attach this Veteran's Patch to any item, even things like cloth shopping bags or a decorative pillow. Since it is a relatively small patch at only three inches across, it will fit onto almost anything. This is good because it gives you a wide range of options to choose from so you can personalize the perfect gift for your war hero.
The back of this Purple Heart patch is coated in a heat activated adhesive that will let you easily iron it on to a number of clothing items and accessories like hats and bags. If you don't want to use the ironing adhesive, you will need to stitch the patch in place. You can use a sewing machine if you know how, or you can sew it on by hand. This is necessary if you're going to put it on something that is made out of leather since that material doesn't handle heat very well. You don't want to accidentally ruin that perfect gift by trying to iron a patch onto something that doesn't like the heat.
