It’s Purple Heart Day! 7 Aug 1782: General George Washington orders creation of the Badge of Military Merit to honor exceptional enlisted men, since he was unable to give promotions. In 1918, General John J."Blackjack" Pershing suggested reviving a similar award for merit, but it was not until 1932 that the Purple Heart was created in recognition of Washington's ideals. 💜

An American Moment, 250 years ago, July 22, 1776, Congress got into the issue of getting State Militia prisoners with Ethan Allen on par with Continental Soldiers.

The Congress took into consideration the report of the committee respecting an exchange of prisoners; Whereupon,

Resolved, That the commander in chief in each department be empowered to negotiate an exchange of prisoners in the following manner: one continental officer for one of the enemy of equal rank, either in the land or sea service, soldier for soldier, sailor for sailor, and one citizen for another citizen:

That each state hath a right to make any exchange they think proper for prisoners taken from them or by them.

Resolved, That the several commanders in chief, in each department, be directed to exchange any officer in the British service, now a prisoner in any of these states, of or under the rank of colonel, for Colonel Ethan Allen.’

Resolved, That the persons taken prisoners with Colonel Ethan Allen, be put upon the same footing as those in the continental service, and exchanged accordingly, as opportunity presents.
