I am not doubting the fact that there are true American heroes that received 3 purple hearts, but what I am trying to find out is how many got 3 purple hearts and got their ticket out of country.

So far, sadly no info...

I had the exact same question and did a search to find this thread. Wish somebody knew the answer.

Two questions:

1. How many other vets were released from combat for receiving three purple hearts, or three wounds?

2. How many of those happened in a three month period?
