She'll get her Purple Heart, but I'm thinking she should get something for valor, too. What a great story!

Yes - Based on what's reported here - she could be awarded more than a purple heart.

Well... I was asking because I keep forgetting which medals are for what. I just know a lot of vets who were wounded in other wars have Purple Hearts and I wasn't sure if that was the only criteria for getting one.

Bronze Star at least. Probably would be Bronze if she were a man, anyway. They'll most likely up that to a silver for such a celebrity female soldier IMHO.

She'll either get the Silver Star (my bet) or the CMOH. Both are for Valor.
If Senator Byrd awards it, you can bet that he'll find funds for another building named after him in the process
