½ Dollar (National Purple Heart Hall of Honor)

The Half Dollar That Says ALL GAVE SOME — and SOME GAVE ALL

Turn this coin over and the message changes from sacrifice to loss. One side: a soldier on crutches, one leg gone. The other: a child cradling a Marine's empty dress cap. It honors the Purple Heart — the oldest American military decoration still awarded, and the only one you can earn by being wounded or killed.
