An estimated 1,076,245 people recieved a Purple Heart in World War II.
The Military Regulations pertaining to the award of the Purple Heart Medal specifically disallows the medal for PTSD.
No, the only President to have a purple heart was JFK. Monroe would have be given one if the award were given out to Revolutionary War soldiers.
The original Purple Heart award was made personally by General George Washington during the American Revolution to 3 Continental Army soldiers. It was a heart-shaped purple colored cloth, with white piping on the perimeter. It then disappeared until the early 1930's, resurrected by then Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur, and was made retroactive to WWI wounded soldiers. So the first people awarded the Purple Heart were WWI wounded soldiers.

Robert E. Lee was the General that the troops took to their heart - struggling on to the end, barefoot and starving, long after they might be expected to have surrendered.
