He was aged between 18 %26amp; 22 in the army on the DMZ in Korea and Viet Nam. I was a little kid when he went in. I remember he brought the medals home but has refused to speak of what ever happened to earn them. I know he thought I was too young then. I'm nearly 50 and I want to know what my brother went through. His boot camp was at Fort Bragg,N.C. in 1967. He then went straight to Nam.
My brother got a purple heart %26amp; bronze star in Vietnam.What site can tell me WHY he got those medals?

Reply:As was mentioned,
The Bronze Star Medal is the United States Armed Forces fourth-highest award for bravery, heroism or meritorious service.
The Purple Heart is a U.S. military decoration awarded in the name of the President of the United States to those who have been wounded or killed while serving on or after April 5, 1917, with the U.S. military.
