Gee...when I was in the army I got a real bad sunburn one time...but I was never savvy enough to put in for a purple heart...I wonder if it's too late to submit for it now. When I was in Basic Training, we were told that if we got a sunburn bad enough to go on Sick Call, we would be charged with destruction of Government Property.
