The Medal of Honor is the highest military award given by the United States Government. It is awarded to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who distinguish themselves "conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his (or her) life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States." The award has been given to 3,448 Service Members since it's inception in 1862.
The oldest.
A soldier who receives the purple heart was wounded in combat during military service. It may be presented to his/her family if deceased. A military grave stone may include the letters 'PH' to denote the award of the purple heart. The award may be given multiple times. The wounds received must be caused by the enemy for the award to be valid. A Humvee rollover, for example, would not result in a purple heart. The design and colors of the medal were chosen because George Washington's original Badge of Military Merit was a purple heart edged in white, along with the reverse inscription "FOR MILITARY MERIT" and the obverse engraving of George Washington to tie it to the historic honor.
The Medal of Honor is the highest award that a member of the US Military can be awarded.
