The Purple Heart, said to be the oldest military decoration in the world that is still in use, is an award in the name of the president of the United States that honors members of the U.S. military wounded or killed in action.
The original honor was a product of General George Washington who issued an order to establish a badge of distinction for commendable action during the Revolutionary War. The Purple Heart decoration seen today was established Feb. 22, 1932 to celebrate the 200th birthday of Washington.
