Three days later, on August 7, he recognized Purple Heart Day by honoring military service members who have been wounded or killed in action. In his post, Messmer stated: "Today, Hoosiers and all Americans honor those heroes who were injured or who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our great nation. #PurpleHeartDay https://t.co/n3plS8xyhb".
Later that same day, Messmer shared his participation in a community event focused on mental health services.

The U.S. Coast Guard was established in 1790 and serves as one of the nation's five armed forces branches, playing a vital role in maritime safety and security. Purple Heart Day is observed annually on August 7 to recognize U.S. military personnel wounded or killed while serving. Mental health services remain an important issue across Indiana's communities, with organizations like LifeSpring providing essential support to residents throughout the region.
