Interesting in that I believe I read they are still giving out Purple Hearts that were ordered for the Invasion of Japan during W.W. II.
Not dismissing Vindman’s PH, but is that the only major medal this guy has?
In World War Two my dad ended up in a hospital in Africa and got shipped home before he finished his tour.
I don’t recall ever seeing a Purple Heart among his things.
He felt like a complete failure because he was unable to complete his duty.
Times have changed.
Vindman ribbons are for being somewhere on active, one for combat.
One he is proudest of is “Plays well with others.” Second row beside the Participation one.
