This patch represents every American who has been wounded or killed in action while serving the nation, a solemn recognition that they gave their blood in defense of the country they swore to protect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Purple Heart traces its origins to the Badge of Military Merit, established by General George Washington on August 7, 1782, during the American Revolution. It was revived in its modern form on February 22, 1932, the 200th anniversary of Washington's birth. The Purple Heart is awarded to any member of the United States Armed Forces who has been wounded or killed in action against an enemy. Unlike other decorations, the Purple Heart requires no nomination or recommendation — it is earned through the simple, terrible fact of being wounded in combat. The Purple Heart is among the most respected decorations in the American military, carrying a weight and significance that transcends rank, branch, and era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect For:\n\u003cbr\u003ePurple Heart recipients and families, wounded warrior supporters, combat casualty recognition displays, military honor collectors, veteran memorial presentations, and Gold Star families\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir blood.
