Military Order of the Purple Heart Observes George Washington's Birthday

The Military Order of the Purple Heart is proud to observe the 283rd anniversary of the birth of the nation's first elected President, General George Washington. As the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, it was General Washington who created the Badge of Merit on August 7, 1782 to recognize the bravery and meritorious service of the common soldier on the battlefield.

This year, patriot members of the MOPH will gather at the statue of George Washington on the steps of Federal Hall in New York City, the first Capitol Building of the United States of America, which marks the spot where George Washington was inaugurated as the nation's first President. On this occasion, the City of New York will present the MOPH with a proclamation designating the city as a "Purple Heart City," as an expression of its support and appreciation for its native sons and daughters who were wounded or killed in combat by the enemies of the United States of America, defending the very freedoms that make this nation so great. For their service and sacrifice they received the Purple Heart Medal.
