Among all the decorations awarded by the United States military, one stands apart. 

It is not given for bravery, leadership, or extraordinary achievement. Instead, it recognizes something far more personal: the physical cost of war. 

The Purple Heart is awarded to those who have been wounded or killed in combat, making it one of the most solemn honors a service member can receive. 

Learn more about the origins, history, and meaning of the Purple Heart on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
