Today, August 7, marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Purple Heart Day. This day is dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who have been wounded or lost their lives in service to our country. At CPI, a service-disabled veteran owned talent solutions company, we are deeply committed to supporting our military veterans, and this day holds special significance for us.
A Decade of Recognition
The Purple Heart, one of the most esteemed military decorations, has a rich history that dates back to General George Washington’s establishment of the Badge of Military Merit on August 7, 1782. Revived in 1932 as the Purple Heart, this medal has since been awarded to over 1.8 million service members. Each Purple Heart symbolizes the incredible courage and sacrifice of those who have been wounded or killed in action.
