Summary

Among all the decorations awarded by the United States military, one stands apart. It is not given for bravery, leadership, or extraordinary achievement. Instead, it recognizes something far more personal: the physical cost of war. The Purple Heart is awarded to those who have been wounded or killed in combat, making it one of the most solemn honors a service member can receive.
