Purple Heart: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

The UNSC Purple Heart is awarded to UNSC soldiers who have been injured or killed by enemy attack in combat situations with enemies of the UNSC. This may include combat with rebel factions such as the [[United Rebel Front]] or the [[Covenant]]. To date, the Purple Heart has been awarded to huge numbers of UNSC soldiers, as a great many have been injured fighting the Covenant.

The Award was mentioned several times throughout [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] and [[Halo: First Strike]], but it was never actually seen until [[Halo 2]]. In fact, every soldier seen in a dress uniform throughout [[Cairo Station]] in the level of the same name wears only a Purple Heart medal, with the exception of [[Lord Hood]], who also wears the [[Medal of Honor]] and the [[~~The~~ Navy and Marine Corps Medal]].

Interestingly, the medal's appearance has not changed at all since its original appearance, conceived for the military of the United States of America in the year 1932. The medal even bears the same George Washington engravement on the original medal, paying homage to the man who first created a medal for soldiers wounded in battle for his country.
