This medal honors true battlefield sacrifice without requiring a superior's recommendation, making it a distinguished symbol of valor and resilience. ## Description The Purple Heart Medal (PH) is a decoration presented in the name of the President of the United States to recognize members of the U.S. military who have been wounded or killed in battle. It differs from other military decorations in that a "recommendation" from a superior is not required, but rather individuals are entitled based on meeting certain criteria found in AR 600-8-22. This criteria was expanded on March 28, 1973 to include injuries received as a result of an international attack against the U.S. and while serving outside the territory of the U.S. as part of a peacekeeping force. Personnel wounded or killed by friendly fire are also eligible for this award as long as the injuries were received in combat and with the intention of inflicting harm on the opposing forces. The Purple Heart is not awarded for non-combat injuries and commanders must take into account the extent of enemy involvement in the wound. Review: Good quality perfect collectors medal! - Perfect for a military collector! almost identical to the original, only downside is it dose not come with a backing for the medal itself. other then that it looks perfect in my collection, you can get medal backings for super cheap on ali express or temu. Review: For My Dad's Shadow Box - When I petitioned the US Gov to provide my fathers medals from WWII, I was sent a handful of medals, Bronze Star, European/North African Campaign medal with a Silver Star and a few other medals. I was not sent his Purple Heart. I was provided in the accompanying letter that my fathers records as an enlisted man were destroyed in a fire in 1972. It was as an enlisted man he received Purple Heart. While I have documentation from the Army, from the time he received the Purple Heart, the Army today didn't much seem to care or couldn't because it was above their pay grade, or whatever the reason. The fact of the matter was, they were not going to send me his Purple Heart. In building my Dad's shadow box, complete with the flag that draped his coffin and 3 of the shell casings from the 21 gun salute, I purchased this Purple Heart to place next to his other medals, his captains bars, the lapel insignia of the Combat Engineers. This Purple Heart seems like a quality piece and matches the other medals in construction. So I'm satisfied. Just family and friends are all that will ever see it, but it completes the project I made for the man I was named after. My hero, my Dad. ## Features - Brand New Full Sized Purple Heart Medal by Vanguard - Packaged by Vanguard - Our Nation's Insignia - Vanguard Supplies the United States Military - Includes a Separate Ribbon Mounting Bar - Vanmount Metal 1 - Clutch Back - Vanmount Mounting Bar is easier to mount than standard brass base bars; and holds one ribbon, full size medal or two mini medals ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CC05YGQ | | Batteries included? | No | | Brand | Vanguard Military | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (180) | | Date First Available | 12 April 2013 | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 12.4 x 9.4 x 2.69 cm; 91 g | ## Images ![Purple Heart Medal - Full Size - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TMjQsMvIL.jpg) ![Purple Heart Medal - Full Size - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RwoHqEUgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality perfect collectors medal! *by I***L on 21 April 2025* Perfect for a military collector! almost identical to the original, only downside is it dose not come with a backing for the medal itself. other then that it looks perfect in my collection, you can get medal backings for super cheap on ali express or temu. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For My Dad's Shadow Box *by R***B on 25 August 2021* When I petitioned the US Gov to provide my fathers medals from WWII, I was sent a handful of medals, Bronze Star, European/North African Campaign medal with a Silver Star and a few other medals.

You could use a single ribbon back to attach it to a uniform, but it doesn't come with one. I used it to build a flag case for a soldier who was KIA in 2003 and it looks good for that. ## Frequently Bought Together - Purple Heart Medal - Full Size - MEDALS OF AMERICA EST. 1976 Vietnam Service Medal (VSM) Full Size - VANGUARD Full Size Medal: Silver Star --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/490744969-purple-heart-medal-full-size](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/490744969-purple-heart-medal-full-size) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
