As a holder of the Purple Heart, you don’t WIN the danged thing. No soldier set out to WIN a Purple Heart. You don’t get into a firefight and say, man, I hope I can WIN a Purple Heart today! Idiots. It is an award for wounds received in action by enemy fire. Not awarded for falling down and cutting your pinky finger as our wonderful Sec of State did.
Well said. Forgive me if I said it wrong

Thanks for your service, and integrity.
Being a 3rd generation vet I appreciate what you, my grandad & dad , and the others with whom I served have done for this country.
That’s why we referred to it as the “Enemy Marksmanship Badge.”
