How can I find a list of men who were in the Navy who received purple hearts during the Vietnam War?

My gentleman friend says that he received three, and I would like to verify this information.

How can I find a list of men who were in the Navy who received purple hearts during the Vietnam War?
Begin here:

There are other sites.. but right now I can't recall them. Sorry.


I, myself, wanted to disprove someone.. but I wrote for his records. %26lt;smiles%26gt;





You won't get the complete list.. why would you.. You might be able to find out about your friend.. or better yet, let them find out for you.. %26lt;smiles%26gt;.





You can contact:

Sorry. I took the address offline.
Reply:Ask your Local Librarian. And if that fails, go to Veteran Affairs on the web and look underneath Medals of Honors and the Honorees. I can give you 2 names of men they received the Purple Heart: (1) Anderson Copeland WWII and (2) Ralph Copeland who died in the Vietnam War, it was presented to my Grandfather when my Uncle didn't come back, and Plus his name is on the Wall in the Arlington Cementary in Virginia for those who served and died in the Vietnam War. My family is History and damn proud of it.

Reply:You could probably search it on the net. You can just about find anything there.
Reply:google it
Reply:Well if his name is John Kerry.... forget it, but the easiest way to see if he is full of **** is to ask him to show you his letters for what he received them for. If he's reluctant to show you proof..... well I think he's a braggart who chipped paint or something and a wishful dreamer.
Reply:i think if he had received three purple hearts, we would all have seen the movie of his life story by now, sounds like a tall tale to me
