Montana Purple Heart Memorial
On August 7, 1782, Continental Army Commander-in-Chief George Washington said this of his troops when establishing the Badge of Military Merit;"Let it be known that he who wears the military order of the purple heart has given of his blood in the defense of his homeland and shall forever be revered by his fellow countrymen."
The Purple Heart started as the first symbol of military merit in America.
