Badge of Military Merit Patch - the Purple Heart
The Badge of Military Merit, the oldest American military decoration, was established by George Washington in 1782. Washington's badge was referred to as the Purple Heart and was issued for any singularly meritorious action. It was designed by Pierre Charles L'Enfant in accordance with Washington's personal instructions. The Badge specifically honored the lower ranks where decorations were unknown in European armies of the time.

Iron-on patch comes in a poly bag with a card of the history and information about the Merit Badge. Purple cloth patch with white stitching. Patch measures 2 1/2 x 3 inches.
