Original Message One of the highlights of tomorrow's Restoring Honor rally will occur when Mr. Beck awards the Badge of Merit to qualifying Special Ops warriors. Glenn created the Badge of Merit to restore what has become the "Purple Heart" medal back to what it was when Gen. George Washington awarded it as the "Badge of Merit." Like Glenn says, "anyone can get shot", and that is no accomplishment in and of itself. Beck's Badge of Merit has to be EARNED through acts of valor, and the man or woman awarded it must be of the HIGHEST character and integrity, not just some victim who managed to get wounded.

Beck's Badge of Merit will only be awarded to qualifying *elite* Special Ops warriors (Army Airborne, Marine Force Recon, Navy Seals, Army Special Forces/Delta Force, and Air Force Pararescue) -- service members who served in conventional non-elite military units (Legs [non-Airborne qualified Army], mechanized, armor, non-SEAL Navy members, etc) do NOT qualify for this award and WILL NOT be considered.

Here's Glenn describing his Badge of Merit in his own words, describing the deep personal meaning behind it :

Glenn Beck: "Today, we announced the first 15 minutes of the 8-28 event and the people that will join me on stage. We announced that we are going to start — restart the badge of merit that George Washington gave his troops. It’s what the Purple Heart is based on, except the progressives — what a surprise — in 1933 introduced the Purple Heart.

The Purple Heart was based on the badge of merit by George Washington. It had nothing to do with being wounded in action. It had everything to do with doing something of honor and integrity, something to — something that — where you really put your neck out and you did something of real merit, not just getting shot ....

But he was trying to build people that understood honor and merit and integrity and God."
