Purple Hearts Full Movie Download 720p [PORTABLE]

The Purple Heart (PH) is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the president to those wounded or killed while serving, on or after 5 April 1917, with the U.S. military. With its forerunner, the Badge of Military Merit, which took the form of a heart made of purple cloth, the Purple Heart is the oldest military award still given to U.S. military members. The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor is located in New Windsor, New York.

What now is known as the Purple Heart began as the Badge of Military Merit, established by George Washington on August 7, 1782. At that time, and for many decades afterwards, there were very few awards that common soldiers could receive in service of their country. Most awards, decorations, and medals were given to great commanders, aristocrats, or kings. Recognizing that the Continental Army was fighting a tough campaign, supplies were scarce, and pay was low, Washington felt a need to encourage his troops by establishing an award for valor and meritorious service. This established a precedent within awards systems for valor, defined as heroic actions in combat, and merit, which is proper performance of military duties not related to combat. Washington presented the Badge of Military Merit, which consisted of a cloth purple heart to be worn over the left breast, to three sergeants in his army.

"... The General ever desirous to cherish virtuous ambition in his soldiers, as well as to foster and encourage every species of Military merit directs whenever any singularly meritorious action is performed, the author of it shall be permitted to wear on his facings, over his left breast, the figure of a heart in purple cloth or silk edged with narrow lace or binding."

The Purple Heart is also known as the nation's oldest military award. Although it has changed in title and use over the years, its roots can be traced back to the Badge of Military Merit ordered by then-Gen. George Washington on Aug. 7, 1782. That's why the gold medal on a purple ribbon bears the profile of Washington.

The requirements for earning the badge were a lot different from today's Purple Heart. Soldiers had to do something unusually heroic or perform some act that was essential to the success of the Continental Army. While that sounds more like something you'd have to do to earn the Medal of Honor, the badge was actually a cloth purple heart with the word "merit" stitched across it in white. So, in a way, both the Medal of Honor and the Purple Heart came from the Badge of Military Merit.

In the 1920s, the officers and staff at the War Department began to discuss how best to honor the sacrifices of ordinary Soldiers. In the course of these discussions, some even proposed the resurrection of the Badge of Military Merit, the purple, heart-shaped badge created by General George Washington to honor heroism and more ordinary forms of sacrifice.[4] Yet the proposal went nowhere.[5] (The War Department in this era was understaffed after demobilization and preoccupied with much weightier matters involving the care and compensation for veterans.)

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Delegates to the Republican National Convention found a new way to take a jab at Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's Vietnam service record: by sporting adhesive bandages with small purple hearts on them.

In addition, some critics believe that the title is a play on their opposing political views- Democratic- or blue- for Cassie, and Republican- or red- for Luke. If you mix the colors together it makes purple, which makes the name Purple Hearts seem even more disrespectful to the actual medal.

The purple hearts on a dark background is so cute. I've never bought one of these for myself before - only received a couple as gifts, but this one made me so happy. I bought a Starbucks iced tea in the morning, and halfway through the afternoon, there was still ice. Cute, functional, and a good cause!
