Purple Heart Keepsake Coin - Free Personalization Too

Purpleheart-l

Our new Purple Heart Keepsake Coin is simply elegant. This high relief, splash-minted coin exhibits the precision detail characteristic of such a minting technique. Die struck out of thicker blanks, this coin will have a substantive feel to it as well. The coin is given an antique finish then enameled and baked for a beautiful and durable result. The reverse has space available for engraving.

The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President to any member of an Armed Force who, while serving with the U.S. Armed Services has been wounded or killed. In 1782, Gen. George Washington established the Badge of Military Merit, a heart-shaped purple cloth or silk adornment conferred for singular achievement. Three were given — to Sergeants Daniel Bissell, William Brown, and Elijah Churchill.

In 1932, President Herbert Hoover directed Gen. Douglas MacArthur to revive the award for Washington’s 200th birthday. This medal, designed by Elizabeth Will, keeps the color and shape directed by Washington, but adds the founding father’s image. MacArthur specified that it be issued to those wounded in combat (and earned the first one, retroactively).

Official rolls are not kept; no one knows how many have been earned. This coin honors the sacrifice — sometimes the ultimate sacrifice — paid by the men and women who are entitled to wear it.

Small Silver Key Box 1 Aeng-s

Having just celebrated my own 20th Wedding Anniversary, I know how important it is to remember your husband and or wife when these major milestones in a relationship happen. While my wonderful husband took me to dinner and purchased a beautiful anniversary band for me, which was simply wonderful, what I love and appreciate more then anything is the fact that he is so incredibly generous and loving every day. So on your special day make sure you acknowledge your significant other with a special surprise or two but don’t forget to do it the other 364 days of the year as well. Having said that we have added several new choices that are perfect for celebrating a 25th wedding anniversary. Check out our new All My Heart silver tone keepsake box. Arrives with your choice of key and scented silk rose petals too! Also check out a smaller style that holds our key chain Key To My Heart version pewter key. Both would make great anniversary gifts for him and for her!
