Great idea, lousy concept.

Every soldier wounded in combat is a member of the order of the Purple Heart.

Not every soldier wounded in combat is entitled to a Silver Star.

Back up regroup and work towards the Families of the Purple Heart, and you may have a winner.

I second what the Cobra said!

The Silver Star in this case refers to the emblem used by Military families to designate that a family member is away at war.

In WWII Silver Star meant your child or husband was at war, a Gold Star meant that a son or husband had been killed in battle.

The difference between us and the Purple Hearts is that we consider injuries and PTSD as quailfying for the Silver Star Banner

Many people who shed blood do not quaify for the PH

We want to remember ALL the wounded
