Today we pause to remember an attack that took the lives of nearly 3,000 lives at the Pentagon, World Trade Center, and Shanksville, PA. Evil struck, but it did not shake our strength, resolve, and unbreakable spirit.

#DYK the #PurpleHeart is the oldest award presented to service members? President George Washington created the Badge of Military Merit, the predecessor of the Purple Heart, in 1782. It was also one of the first awards that could be given to junior enlisted soldiers.
