Originally conceived by the military leadership of the [[United States of America]] on [[Earth]] in 1932, the Purple Heart is still awarded in the [[UNSC]] over 800 years after its conception. For the most part, the medal's appearance has not changed in this time. The only difference between the UNSC's medal and the original decoration is that the current medal lacks the white stripes on the edge of the ribbon. The medal even bears the same profile of George Washington as the original, paying homage to the man who first created a medal for troops wounded in battle for their country.
