On Thursday, July 31 over 600 veterans departed Navy Pier aboard the Odyssey as they took part in the 52nd Annual "Kup's Purple Heart Cruise." Legendary Chicago Sun-Times columnist Irv Kupcinet (Kup) launched the cruise in 1945 as a way to thank and pay tribute to the wounded veterans of World Wars I and II, in the following years veterans from the Korean conflict, Vietnam War and other engagements joined the cruise.
