The Purple Heart Medal Forever® stamp is now available online and in Post Offices nationwide! The stamp continues the tradition of honoring the sacrifices of the men and women who serve in the U.S. military.
The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United States to members of the U.S. military who have been wounded or killed in action. According to the Military Order of the Purple Heart, an organization for combat-wounded veterans, the medal is “the oldest military decoration in the world in present use and the first award made available to a common soldier.”
