My Great-Uncle received 3 purple hearts and was nominated for 2 more while serving in the south pacific in WWII. Two were in the same battle. He refused to be sent home after the 3rd (due to ripped sutures). His command tried to send him home not due to a 3 times rule, but because he had kids and a wife and everyone thought he didnt have much luck left. I cant imagine him putting himself in for an award but then again he was a real man and a real American.

You forgot to include the word "Hero" in your description of your great-uncle. He was definitely that.
