Question about Purple heart?

I have a question about the things that are on my great uncle headstone, I know that he was awarded these honors from the Korean War: Prisoner of War Medal, the Korean Service Medal, the United Nations Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal.





the question I have is that on his headstone there is also a PH and I'm wondering if this could mean "Purple Heart"





Uncle Woody was captured in North Korea and was eventually killed as a P.O.W. I'm just interesting in learning more about this





here is a picture of his headstone at the National Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii

Question about Purple heart?
Whoa! Yes, PH means Purple Heart. But look to the left of that on the same line as the PH. Liutenant Smith received the Bronze Star Medal (BSM) and the Silver Star Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters (SS %26amp; 2 OLC)! He was a true American hero.
Reply:Yes Purple Heart" thank you for his service.
Reply:Your uncle was a true hero. Keep his memory alive so future generations will know who he was and what he did. He served in two wars and was a hero and many today should take a lesson from him.
Reply:Yes, it it for the Purple Heart.
Reply:The line that the PH is on is a list of his combat decorations. PH would stand for Purple Heart.
Reply:Your great uncle was awarded two silver stars (valor), Bronze Star Medal, and Purple Heart. Please say a prayer for me the next time you are there. Be very proud.
Reply:"PH" on a headstone stands for the awarding of a Purple Heart.
