Brig. Gen. Joe Jarrard, commanding general of the Georgia Army National Guard, presents the Purple Heart Medal to Sgt. Jason Ulin for injuries sustained in combat during his deployment to Afghanistan with the Georgia Army National Guard’s 1-214th Field Artillery Battalion in 2013. Spc. Jean Bermudez and Pfc. Sean Kitchens stand behind them having just received the award. The Purple Heart Medal is linked to the Badge of Military Merit established by George Washington during the Revolutionary War when he pinned a purple, cloth-shaped heart on three men’s chests. The Georgia Army National Guard took a moment to honor the courage, commitment and sacrifice of three Guardsmen with today’s Purple Heart Medals in front of their family and fellow servicemen Sunday, March 2, 2014, in Atlanta.
