Originally known as Badge of Military Merit, it was only given to three Revolutionary War soldiers by Washington himself. After World War I, the award was revived and redesigned to the Purple Heart Medal we know today. Since then, 1.8 million Purple Hearts have been distributed to service members of all branches.
