Purple Heart Day HistoryPurple Heart Day is dedicated to acknowledging and honoring the brave men and women wounded in combat or who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Marked by ceremonies, parades, and moments of reflection, this day holds a profound significance within the military and civilian communities alike. The Purple Heart is one of the oldest and most respected medals awarded in the U.S military. Once known as the Badge of Military Merit it was established by General George Washington. On August 7, 1782, George Washington established the original Purple Heart, thus the holiday emerged. It is designated to pay tribute to Washington's ideals and enduring legacy of courage and dedication to the country. The heart-shaped purple-and-gold medal adorned with Washington’s profile symbolizes the valor and sacrifice of the American Soldier. Purple Heart Day does not classify as a public holiday and it does not alter the business hours or public transportation schedules. Instead, it serves as a day of respect and gratitude, reminding us that freedom comes at a price. Many Americans choose to recognize it by hoisting the nation’s flag and remembering those who risked their lives for the United States. This observance is held annually on August 7th.
