The Purple Heart is our nation's FIRST medal; and General Washington did state, "...that it's amazing what men will do for a simple piece of purple cloth..."(purple cloth was the first purple heart medal). States "might" not publish a list of Purple Heart recipients for public review, and any list you might find on the web are most likely "voluntarily submitted" names. Which means that a lot of men who don't use the computer won't have their names listed.
The Purple Heart is given that accolade.

Three men received the first Purple Hearts, presented to them on May 9, 1783. The men were all from Connecticut. These were Daniel Bissell, Elijah Churchill, and Daniel Brown.
The original purple heart was an award for heroism. It was given out by George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
Wasn't President Kennedy awarded one in WW II?
