A great reminder. #Repost @rt_foundation ・・・ The Purple Heart was first created on August 7, 1782 by the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, General George Washington. Then known as the Badge of Military Merit, it was awarded to 3 Revolutionary soldiers in 1783. Purple Heart Medals are awarded to those brave soldiers wounded or killed while serving the Untied States Armed Forces. Please take a moment today to thank those who have given their lives or suffer from wounds sustained from their time in war. Their sacrifices never go unnoticed and we will pay our respect today and everyday for them. #PurpleHeartDay #respect #military #history #war #combat #woundedinaction #killedinaction #purpleheart #2018 #rtfoundation #idontplanonrunning
