On this date in 1782 Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart to recognize merit in enlisted men and non-commissioned officers.

And one of those very first recipients was buried near me.

They do a great little presentation about Washington at his headquarters in Newburgh where theY mention the PH. It’s definitely a fun visit.
