Today is #NationalPurpleHeartDayToday, an observance that commemorates the creation of the Purple Heart Medal in 1782 by Gen. George Washington.🇺🇸 Originally known as the Badge of Military Merit, the Purple Heart was first awarded to three Revolutionary War Soldiers in 1783 and is the oldest military award still presented to American Service Members today. Unlike most medals, its focus is not the recipient's bravery or heroism -- it is awarded for sacrifice. | U.S. Army
