Today marks the 232nd anniversary of America’s first military - TopicsExpress

Today marks the 232nd anniversary of America’s first military medal—the Badge of Military Merit—which was authorized by General George Washington, along with ribbons of distinction, during the Revolutionary War on August 7, 1782. Today that medal is known as the Purple Heart. To-date, Marine Sgt. Albert L. Ireland holds the record for the most Purple Hearts awarded to one individual: he received a total of nine - five during World War II (Guadalcanal and Okinawa) and four more in the Korean War. President John F. Kennedy is the only U.S. president to receive a Purple Heart, though at least five presidents including James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Franklin Pierce, and Rutherford B. Hayes, were injured in earlier wars, but the medal was not given at those times. Among “famous” Purple Heart recipients are actors James Arness, James Garner, Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, and author Ron Kovic whose movie “Born on the Fourth of July” recounted his experiences as a Vietnam War veteran . VA Secretaries Eric K. Shinseki and Jesse Brown were Purple Heart recipients, as was Acting Secretary/Deputy Secretary Hershel Gober.
