I, having being the first Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart 676 ( 1994-1995 ) on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I no the difference between the two medals.

Both should equally be honored!

Military Purple Heart


Not just military

 I just want to help educate the people who don't know that there are two different types of Purple Hearts. Most people know of the military Purple Hearts but there is one more. There is a Purple Heart for law enforcement officers who are injured in the line of duty and are out for at least three days due to the injury. On Sept. 30, 2003, there was a nice article in The Sun Herald honoring two Biloxi police officers with Purple Hearts.
