LIVE POLL: Heroic Purple Heart Awarded Biopic Stars

The Purple Heart medal celebrates its 240th anniversary on August 7th, 2022 and is America's oldest military award still currently awarded. Every August in the USA during National Purple Heart Month, Americans show their gratitude by honoring and remembering those who bravely suffered injuries or were killed while serving their country. The original Purple Heart military decoration was known as the Badge of Military Merit. General George Washington created the award in 1782 for meritorious service at a time when military awards given to enlisted personnel were rare. Today, the award acknowledges the physical sacrifice given to the nation and is awarded exclusively to military members who are injured or killed in combat, through an act of terrorism or by friendly fire.
