	The Purple Heart - Our First Military Medal
		The practice of wearing medals was far too reminiscent of European aristocracy, and the people of the United States had taken great steps to build their nation far from the European model.
		But the certificate of merit was just that, a certificate that existed more in terms of a voucher that often brought a small payment to the soldier but no lasting recognition or visible medal.
		Early in the Civil War a medal of honor was proposed in Congress to "promote efficiency in the Navy." Approved in 1861, the new Medal of Honor would only be awarded to enlisted sailors and petty officers, and was not approved for award to commissioned officers until more than 50 years later.

		The Navy Medal of Honor was established before the Army Medal of Honor, and even though the Army and Navy Medals of Honor were given for fairly comparable acts, the medals themselves were similar but different in design.
		The next decoration was established by the Army and was known as the Certificate of Merit medal, for which there was no Navy counterpart.
		Following the Second World War this trend was reversed with the development of the Commendation and Achievement Medals, and most recently with the establishment by the Air Force of its Aerial Achievement Medal.
