Cpl Mitchell is a squad leader.
He was wounded as his squad was clearing a house when some enemy threw pineapple grenades down on top of them. As he was getting triaged, the doctor told him that he had been shot through the arm. Cpl Mitchell told the doctor that he had actually been shot "a couple of days ago" and had given himself self aide on the wound.
When the doctor got on him about not coming off the line, he firmly told the doctor that he was a squad leader and did not have time to get treated as his men were still fighting. There are a number of Marines who have been wounded multiple times but refuse to leave their fellow Marines.

A purple heart for a self-inflicted shrapnel "wound"
A purple heart for a 2nd self-inflicted shrapnel "wound"
A purple heart for a bruise on his arm when he ran his boat into a submerged object while runnning from a fight and "Hasta la vista...suckers"
