The U.S. Postal Service continues to honor
the sacrifices of the men and women who serve in the U.S. military with
the issuance of the _PURPLE HEART MEDAL_ stamp that depicts the medal suspended from its purple and white ribbon. The
Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United
States to members of the U.S. military who have been wounded or killed
in action. According to the Military Order of the Purple Heart, an
organization for combat-wounded veterans, the medal is "the oldest
military decoration in the world in present use and the first award made
available to a common soldier."
Established by General George
Washington during the Revolutionary War, the badge of distinction for
meritorious action - a heart made of purple cloth - was discontinued
after the war. In 1932, on the 200th anniversary of Washington’s birth,
the decoration was reinstated and redesigned as a purple heart of metal
bordered by gold, suspended from a purple and white ribbon. In the
center of the medal is a profile bust of George Washington beneath his
family coat of arms.
The _PURPLE HEART MEDAL_ stamp,
first issued in 2012, is a redesign of the Purple Heart with Ribbon
stamp. Ira Wexler photographed the medal. Art director Jennifer Arnold
designed the stamp.
