Thank You for Posting this.
I’ll venture to say that We have some FReepers that were awarded The Purle Heart.
I will add that They probably keep it to Themselves out of modesty.
I Thank and Congratulate You.
Thank you Mr. President.
My father was in France 1944, dragging his wounded Lt through a trench. He looked up and was shot across the bridge of the nose. My sister has his purple heart. He died 8 years ago. After the war they sent him $9 month for being injured. I don’t think there was any permanent damage. ,In fact after a visit to a filed medical unit he went back t his platoon. When he died in 2009, he was getting $19.
