I just saw this on the News, she said "they ran for cover with their heads down."
We got so used to Sniper fire up on the DMZ nobody cared about it. The snipers were so far away the bullet would only go in about an inch if you did get hit.
As for PH's the policy in 2-4 was you had to be medivacted to get one. I know all kinds of Marines that got hit and never left the field. Never got a PH.
Swift Boat Commander Kerry's policy for Purple Hearts is if you have split ends or your socks don't match you're a wounded Hero
I went longer without food on the RockPile than Kerry was in Country.
Did Hillary After The Ficticious Bosnia Sniper Attack Put In For A Kerry Like Bogus Purple Heart?

Is there a listing of Timothy Allen Dennis USMC Vietnam Veteran has receiving purple heart -1964to1967?
Sevice number 2060829
Is there a listing of Timothy Allen Dennis USMC Vietnam Veteran has receiving purple heart -1964to1967?
Sorry but that name was not listed in the directory I know about.
SFC, US Army, Retired
Reply:First of all is the person was wounded in battle by the enemy then he rates it. Next, If the person is a family member more than likely you can request the records from the National Archives (I did this to make something for my uncle last year). If the medal is not in the record then no he did not earn that medal.

Why do some ppl think the purple heart is the highest medal awarded?
There are two reasons:
A) they are saying it out of ignorance in the belief that it is the highest award given because technically it is not, or
B) it is a personal matter for them. A purple heart can mean someone suffered a minor wound in the line of duty, or it could mean that the person made the ultimate sacrifice.
For many, the Purple Heart has more meaning than most in the civilian world could ever understand. What they see is a person back from the war with a minor shrapnel wound in the leg and who has a Purple Heart.
What they do not see are our fellow soldiers lying in hospital beds at Brooke Army Medical Center, Walter Reed, and others, with burns to 70% of their bodies, deformities that will leave them never able to function normally in society again, and brain and head trauma that leaves many in a childlike state, unable to remember anything of who they are or were.
They do not see the torn families and grieving mothers who cry every night over the broken bodies of their children lying there in a bed, unable to ever walk again.
They do not, and cannot ever know just what that Purple Heart represents.
So I ask you, why do you think some believe that the Purple Heart is the highest medal awarded?
Why do some ppl think the purple heart is the highest medal awarded?
there are all these people answering to your question saying that the purple heart is a joke of a medal, well they just dont understand what it stands for. you deserve something when you get injured in combat, even if it is just a medal.
I think movies over hype the purple heart, and dont give much credit to the silver star, or the soldiers cross or CMoH.
Reply:I thought it was the Nobel peace price or the Oscar. who cares big mouth.
Reply:I wouldn't call it a joke medal, but my father calls his an enemy marksmanship award.
Reply:I think your the one with the problem, I doubt that anyone except you who answers question here believes that,
MaryJo thanks for remind me that people actually pays attention to those things!
unlike our friend who ask this question!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Because they were injuried in combat and survived and it show's courage i guess . i personally think it isnt.
Reply:i thought it was the congressional medal of honor
Reply:Because they are uneducated about Military Decorations.
Reply:Because they don't know much about military decorations. I know of a soldier that got a purple heart because while she was standing in the line at the DFAC, a round from some distant celebratory fire, actually went throught the tent roof and hit her on the head. All she needed was a band-aid and she was back to work.
Reply:xmarcax is wrong about one thing, the survived bit. It is also awarded to those who died in combat. Sometimes this award has a large meaning and sometimes is awarded for minor injuries. You also see service members that have three or four awards of the purple heart. These people have put themselves in harms way several times. I believe there are 18 medals that have a higher rating than the purple heart
Reply:it is not the highest medal. The congressional medal of honor is higher. Did Kerry tell you it was the highest?
Reply:Because they are stupid.
Reply:Never heard of anyone saying that.
Maybe you are just trying to stir things up.
Particularly when you are rude to people like Mary Jo.
get a life.
Reply:Purple heart is a joke medal. Its basically saying you got wounded and thanks for taking the bullet. The other medals show courage, valor, and fearlessness something the purple heart doesn't require.
