💜National Purple Heart Day💜
On 7 August 1782, General Washington announced the new award with these Orders of the Day:
"The General ever desirous to cherish a virtuous ambition in his soldiers, as well as to foster and encourage every species of Military Merit, directs that whenever any singularly meritorious action is performed, the author of it shall be permitted to wear…over his left breast, the figure of a heart in purple cloth…Not only instances of unusual gallantry but also of extraordinary fidelity and essential service…shall be met with a due award."
The original color of the badge, designed by George Washington himself, was purple, a color that is believed to represent courage and a color that was the primary color when the “Purple Heart” was officially established. 💜

The D-Day landings in 1944 were the biggest invasion by sea in history. It's a key date in the story of WW2. The landings took place on 6 June after five years of war with Germany, who were led by the N***s. The whole operation was codenamed Operation Overlord.
