“Purple Hearts most of the time have the name of the precipitant engraved on the back.”

Not mine. It was plastic and cheap.

But, hey, I served under Bush I and Clinton.

I got issued my second a couple years ago, 44 years late and it was the heavy (brass?) gold plated one with my name on the back. My first one was stolen by a kid that thought it was solid gold. It was issued in Viet Nam and did not have my name on it. You can request a reissue of decorations on the SF 180 and get a new set. Maybe they can afford brass now.
