US Purple Heart Medal Full Size With Miniature and Ribbon Bar

The US Purple Heart Medal Full Size With Miniature and Ribbon Bar is a set representing one of the most recognized awards of the United States Armed Forces. The Purple Heart is awarded to service members who have been wounded or killed in action against an enemy force. The full-size medal features a heart-shaped medallion with a profile of George Washington, bordered in gold and set against a purple background. Above the heart, there is a shield and laurel leaves signifying sacrifice and honor. Also included in this set are a miniature version of the medal, suitable for less formal occasions or as part of a dress uniform, and a ribbon bar that can be worn on regular uniforms to denote receipt of the decoration. This set reflects the design and symbolism established when the Purple Heart was revived in 1932 and continues to be awarded to eligible service members to the present day.
