bullet::::- the original purple heart, designated as the badge of military merit, was established by george washington, then the commander-in-chief of the continental army, on august 7, 1782. the actual order includes the phrase, "let it be known that he who wears the military order of the purple heart has given of his blood in the defense of his homeland and shall forever be revered by his fellow countrymen." washington's profile adorns the modern purple heart medal, and the u.s. postage purple heart issue honors them both. designed by carl t. herrman of carlsbad, california, the stamp depicts an image of the purple heart medal with washington in profile. the purple heart stamp was first issued in 2003 with a 37-cent denomination. it was later reissued in 2006 as a 39-cent stamp, in 2007 as a 41-cent stamp, in 2008 as a 42-cent stamp, and on april 28, 2009 as a 44-cent stamp. another purple heart stamp was issued on may 5, 2011 as a "forever" stamp.
