Honoring Our Heroes: Why We Celebrate Purple Heart Day
The Purple Heart Medal Holds a Special Place in the Heart of our Nation
History of the Purple Heart
Every year, on August 7th, we commemorate Purple Heart Day to honor the American service members who were injured or killed in service to our country. It's crucial that we remember and recognize the sacrifices of those who were awarded the medal.
On August 7, 1782, General George Washington created the Badge of Military Merit, which later came to be known as the Purple Heart medal.
The Purple Heart has been awarded to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who have been wounded, killed, or passed away as a result of injuries sustained in combat.
It is one of the oldest and most respected medals throughout the ranks of the American military.
