Why do I get the feeling that Camacho did not type of the request for the purple hearts himself like someone else did years ago in Vietnam? The best to SSG Camacho.

My father received the purple heart in Korean war, but only because he was medivacted to Japan for his wound. He was wounded three other times in combat but never was put in for awards of the PH...he told me there was no time to do paper work they had to keep fighting: 187th Regimental Combat Team 1950-51
