Actually, two purple hearts, both well deserved, unlike a certain former Senator of mine.

He only got his second one in 1983, because it was the result of “friendly” fire, he was hit by fire from a U.S. aircraft. That still qualifies, since wounds received as a result of friendly fire, while engaged with the enemy, are legitimate. (Having your buddy shoot your toe off so you can go home isn’t. The standard is stringent to prevent such incidents.)
