Purple Heart Day

On August 7th, 1782 General George Washington commissioned the first Purple Heart medal, which was originally called the Badge of Military Merit. On this day each year, we remember and honor all the men and women who were wounded or killed while bravely fighting for their country. We thank you for your service and sacrifice for this great nation. #byspousesforspouses #nsfamilyline #purpleheartday #thankyouforyourservice #navyspouse #navyveteran #navyfamilies #militaryfamilies
