The Purple Heart is awarded to those military members wounded or killed as a result of actions by an opposing force. It recognizes the individual's sacrifice in battle to preserve the freedoms of others. With the freedom to become the best, should be the requirement to develop our talents and be our best. As you never know when your talents might be the comfort to someone that has paid the price for your freedom.
