Recipients of the Purple Heart are truly heroes walking among us, but wearing that medal is not something that can be done on a constant basis. Most of the time the medals are tucked away in a safe place and are only brought out for special occasions. However, if you know a veteran who received a purple heart for their heroic deeds during the Gulf War, then you will want to get them this Purple Heart Patch - Gulf War patch to make sure that they are able to proudly showcase their honor to the rest of the war.
This Veteran Patch is a circular one that is three inches in circumference. It has a black twill background, and at the top of the patch is a banner for the gulf war with alternating stripes of black, silver, blue, white, red, silver, green, and black. The words 'Gulf War' are written in black thread over the top of the banner. Immediately underneath this is an embroidered image of the Purple Heart medal. On the sides of the medal image are the words 'PURPLE HEART' written out in gold thread that stands out against the black patch.
If you want to put this on something for a veteran hero that you know, then the easiest way to attach it to the fabric is by ironing it on. The back of the patch is coated with a special adhesive that is designed to react with the heat from an iron to bond it to material. If you are putting the patch on something leather or something awkward to iron like a hat, then you will want to sew the patch on directly. Just remember to stitch around the edges either by hand or machine.
