Or maybe a more appropriate title would be Medal Awarded for Service in Battle? or even Purple Heart? The medal in question is the Medal for Long Marital Life and is awarded in Poland. The medal was established in 1960 and is awarded to couples in recognition of 50 or more years of marriage. They have a ceremony where the couples are presented with the medals,flowers and certificates. It seemed like a unique honor in the current times of soaring divorce rates, to reward people who stayed together and lived long enough to tell about it.
