PURPLE HEART AND OTHER DECORATIONS: I was contacted regarding the
award of the Order of the Purple Heart for a deceased father or relative.
I was not awrded the Purple Heart for my services in Vietnam, but I
have always assumed that if you received an injury which requires documented
medical attention during a combat operation against the enemy, you are
normally entitled to this award. However, I don't really have the criteria
for this award available. If any of you know, please let me know. While I
was a member of our Count Council, I had frequent contact with our County
Veterans Affairs Representative, and I know he was often involved in helping
citizens obtain documentation, which usually resulted in the award or
decoration being issued. Therefore, I suggest that this person be contacted
about these matters. Local veterans' organizations (VFW, American Legion, etc)
are also good sources for this information.
