The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded to those who have been wounded or killed while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It is one of the most prestigious military awards and is a symbol of great honor and sacrifice.
To be eligible for the Purple Heart, you must have been wounded or killed in action. This includes wounds received in combat, as well as wounds received in training exercises or other military operations. There is no minimum length of service required to be eligible for the Purple Heart, and it can be awarded posthumously.
