Purple Heart was created by General George Washington in 1782 to be the Badge of Military Merit. Experts believe only three medals were awarded by Washington during the Revolutionary War. The medal was not given again after Word War I. Approximately two million Purple Heart Medals have been awarded to those wounded or killed during military action. The badge was made of purple cloth with silver braided trim.
