On August 7, 1782, George Washington established the Badge of Military Merit – he awarded the distinction to only three members of his Army, although others were awarded the medal. After World War I, the Purple Heart Medal in it’s current form, replaced “Wound Stripes” as recognition for service members who were wounded or killed in action.
