While engraving existed on such awards at one time, the volume of such awards has far exceeded the governments capacity to keep up with the practice. As a part of the preperations for the Invasion of the Home Islands, 400 thousand Purple Hearts were ordered and produced. That stockpile was still adequate for Korea and Vietnam. They still may be drawing from that stockpile in 2007. In any case, that practice ended during World War One.
