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.
