The UNSC Purple Heart is one of the oldest and most honorable awards given in the history of human conflict. Originally created by George Washington of the Earth country, the United States of America, the Purple Heart is still awarded in the UNSC nearly 800 years after its conception.
The UNSC Purple Heart is awarded to UNSC soldiers who have been injured or killed by enemy fire in combat situations with enemies of humanity. This may include combat with rebel factions 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.
