Excerpt: The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the president to those wounded or killed while serving, on or after 5 April 1917, with the U.S. military. With its forerunner, the Badge of Military Merit, which took the form of a heart made of purple cloth, the Purple Heart is the oldest military award still given to U.S. military members. The original Purple Heart, designated as the Badge of Military Merit, was established by George Washington then the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army by order from his Newburgh, New York, headquarters on 7 August 1782.(Submitted on January 24, 2025, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
