Military Order of the Purple Heart Tartan

[Chas]

I cannot recall any medal in the world of having its own tartan named after it. I think that it would be an extremely unlikely in relation to the Purple Heart medal as the USMC has yet to officially recognised the "Leatherneck" tartan.

I believe that this was the first of a series -

National Defense
