    U.S. Army Col. Michael Filanowski, deputy chief of staff for operations for Multinational Division North East, NATO, poses for a picture with his family after receiving the Purple Heart on June 25, 2026, in Boleslawiec, Poland. Filanowski was wounded while conducting a patrol in Afghanistan in 2005, along with his driver, gunner, and assistant gunner, by an improvised explosive device. The Purple Heart was introduced as the “Badge of Military Merit” by General George Washington in 1782 and is awarded to U.S. military service members who are wounded or killed in action as a direct or indirect result of enemy action.
