In this article it states that Stone won a Purple Heart in Vietnam. ???I read elsewhere he also won a Bronze Star,,,, I did not know this...or how to take it.
I worked with a guy who said he served with Stone. (This was at IBM, and the coworker seemed like a very upstanding guy.) My co-worker said that Stone accidentally discharged a grenade lancher into an overhead tree thereby wounding several of his platoon mates. Not sure if this is how Stone got his Purple Heart.
