Default Purple Heart(s)

A new medal named in honor of John Kerry is called the "Purple Owie".
It
is worn directly over the wound in question. After use, it is rolled
up
and thrown over the nearest fence....... "Who has 3 purple hearts in 4
months but never spent a day in the hospital?"

Default Re: Purple Heart(s)

Whether he wins or loses, I doubt Kerry will ever live down his three Purple Hearts.

My husband was awarded a Purple Heart, much to his surprise - just found it on his cot one day after returning from the hospital and being back on duty for some weeks.

When my sons were cut or hurt, I would take the tiny pin and let him wear it.

LMAO, Se0!

Marianne, you'd think they could have at least handed it to him, even if he didn't have a ceremony.

He had no idea he was getting it, Connie. He was only in the hospital a couple days - shrapnel. He considered it too minor to even think of a Purple Heart. As it turns out, it's very helpful - he gets free hearing aids because of it, and free batteries for life. So he's glad somebody put him in for it!

I LOVE it SeO - but I'm surprised this hasn't gone to the Politics forum!

What's unfortunate is that for so many who did very definitely deserve them, the concept of honor and the worth of the medal has now been called into question in all of this.

My brother refused a similar shrapnel wound badge. In the words of his platoon sgt. "I've cut myself worse than this shaving. No medal for this... it would be an insult to our troops!"
