Welcome to the Canteen, centurion316. Thanks for sharing your experience. We thank your Dad, you, and your nephew for your service to our country, and glad you did live to wear your Purple Hearts.

Thanks. Somewhere out there should be a family of four generations of Purple Hearts, either from two generation recipients in WWII or a WWI veteran who received a Purple Heart for wound stripes awarded in WWI.
