Today is Purple Heart Day. This is a time for Americans to remember the brave men and women who were either wounded in battle or paid the ultimate sacrifice. Join us as we honor the bravery of those who have fought for our country and ensure that their courage is never forgotten.

We also remember the historic day in 1782 when General George Washington, Commander-In-Chief of the Continental Army, commissioned the first Purple Heart Medal, originally called the Badge of Military Merit.
