The
original
Purple
Heart
designated
as
a
badge
military
Merit
was
established
by
General
George
Washington,
the
Indie
commander
of
the
continental
army.
By
order
of
the
Newburgh
New
York
headquarters
on
7
August
1782,
the
badge
military
Merit
was
awarded
to
three
revolutionary
Soldiers
by
Washington
himself.
A
A
Many
in
anticipation
of
established
casualties
resulting
from
the
planned
invasion
of
Japan
by
the
end
of
the
war,
even
accounting
for
medals
that
were
lost,
stolen
or
wasted.
Nearly
500
000
remained
to
the
present
day.
The
total
combined
American
Military
cash
voice
over
the
70
years
following
the
end
of
World
War
II,
including
the
Korean
War,
and
the
Vietnam
War.
We
have
not
exceeded
that
number.

Good

It's

people.
For
this
event,
I

the
task
of

the
special

so
I'll

run

best.

G
B
E
Thank
you
before
I
start
with
my
my
speech
and
the
words
of
Honor
I
do
want
to
say,
you
know
the
the
good
Lord
above
has
blessed
us
with
this
weather.
Today
it
is
just
a
phenomenal.
Day-To-Day
I
know
we
have
a
little
bit
of
weather
coming
into
more,
but
we
also
want
to
extend
our
prayers
out
to
the
people
in
Florida
who
is
getting
hit
with
another
major
storm
for
the
second
time
this
year.
E
You
know
it's
it's
it's
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
be
here
today.
Either
you
have
served
or
you
have
family
members
who
have
served.
My
late
father
is
a
veteran
as
well
as
I
have
two
nephews
Carlisle
quentinmall,
who
is
in
the
Army
as
a
Night
Stalker,
as
well
as
Caruth
Quinton
Mall,
who
is
in
the
Air
Force
learning
drum
technology
and
becoming
a
drone
pilot.
So
it
is
and
I'm
extremely
proud
of
those
two
young
men,
and
so
it
is
an
honor
and
a
privilege
for
me
to
be
here
today.
E
So
we
come
together
to
honor
and
recognize
our
service
members.
Both
past
and
present
veterans
are
recognized
as
men
and
women
who
have
or
are
serving
and
are
American
armed
forces.
Today,
Veterans
Day
is
a
celebration
to
honor
All,
American
veterans
for
their
patriotism,
love
of
country
willingness
to
serve
and
sacrifice
for
the
common
good.
E
So
today
it
is
our
privilege
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
our
veterans
for
your
quiet,
courage
and
service
to
let
you
know
we
are
grateful
and
acknowledge
your
many
sacrifices
and
accomplishments
veterans.
You
have
done
your
duty
to
you
and
your
families
and
our
community
and
your
Fallen
comrades
into
your
country.
