AI Summary
This Resolution supports the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day, which is observed on August 7th, the anniversary of the establishment of the Badge of Military Merit by General George Washington in 1782, the precursor to the Purple Heart Medal. The Purple Heart Medal, the oldest U.S. military decoration still in use, is awarded to members of the Armed Forces who are killed or wounded in action or as prisoners of war.
