The Purple Heart was authorized by the Confederation Congress during the American Revolution, and was awarded, I believe, seven times, and fell into disuse. The next authorized decoration was the Medal of Honor, during the Civil War. The Purple Heart was restored to use - I think in 1932 - and made the award to be given to men injured and wounded by enemy action. Its actually a lovely medal, and has a profile of General Washington on the heart, emblematic of its Revolutionary heritage.
