My son asked me, and I think it is George Washington, but am not 100%. Thanks for your answers!
On the Purple Heart Medal, whose profile is in gold on the front?
Yes. It was originally instituted by General George Washington in 1782 and awarded for bravery in action. The current purpose of the medal is as an award for those wounded or killed (awarded posthumously) in the service of their country.

Reply:A Purple Heart is a heart-shaped medal within a gold border, 1 3⁄8 inches (35 mm) wide, containing a profile of General George Washington. Above the heart appears a shield of the Washington coat of arms (a white shield with two red bars and three red stars in chief) between sprays of green leaves.
Reply:It's Washington. Actually the original Purple Heart was awarded by Washington to the three men who captured John Andre, the British spy who had met with Benedict Arnold about the capture of West Point. The medal wasn't origninally given for be wounded in combat.
