He's never talked about it a puprle heart or even really about the war for that mattter.. but my aunt says she remebers seeing it... Please if you have any info thatd be great!!
Does anyone no how to go about finding out if someone in your family received a purple heart from WWII?
A list of Purple Heart Recipients can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Re...
Tell your grandfather thank you for serving his county.
Reply:i would think it would be public record. have you checked with his branch of the military?
Reply:As his decendant, you can request his service record. Go to: http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/militar... and follow the links. Bad news, there was a fire at the center in 1973 and approx. 80% of the records were lost. But try anyway. If they have his, you'll receive his discharge paperwork which will list all awards and decorations earned.
You can check any of your ancestors that served.
Reply:do your geneology
Reply:You can contact National Personnel Service Records in St. Louis, Mo. They should have that info on file and be able to send it to you.
Reply:It's good that u are concern about ur grandfather...It means ur be proud of Him.
So maybe u can contact any veterans organization or the army office or any offices that u think they have the idea about the one that u are asking..
Go for it as one of your goal to discover!

How do I find recipients of the purple heart from Desert shield in the Air Force Division?
The Air Force does not have divisions.
Is the fact that Hillary did not scratch herself so she could get a purple heart?
Sufficient to want her as President, is it because her husband cheated that qualifies her to be President, is it because she is a woman that she is qualified to be President, why do democrats think she should be president when she has no qualifications for the position.
Is the fact that Hillary did not scratch herself so she could get a purple heart?
Could you be confusing her with Hanoi John Kerry?
Reply:Yes, it is.
Reply:No qualifications? Please. She has served well in the Senate, sponsoring many relevant and important bills, and she's served on the Armed Forces Committee for seven years now. Even before she became a Senator she had a long politically relevant resume. You people who keep claiming this crap need to get a new tactic.
Reply:Being Senator for eight years is a qualification to be President.
I think that she also has the three required by the Constitution:
1. Natural-born citizen
2. Lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years
3. Definitely over 35 years old.
Reply:This is a very poorly written question. Why do you try to insult Hillary when you have trouble saying what you want to say?
Reply:Because they want to see Billy back in the White House,even if it's First Lady.
Reply:Wow. You receive high marks for incoherency.
What qualifies any person to be a president?
Besides tons of cash.
Reply:Simply irritating peanut brains like you is all the incentive I need to vote for hillary
Reply:She's more qualified than Rudy.
(for what it's worth)
I don't like either of them.
Reply:Yes.
John Edwards could become the First Woman President.
Obama could become the First Muslim President.
And Hillary could become the First Bull Dyke President.
I'm going with Hillary. "She" will be the most fun.
GO HILLARY!!!!!
Reply:"No Qualifications"? Elected TWICE as Senator from the state of New York. First Lady of the United States for EIGHT years she has met and interacted with heads of state from all over the world.
She has FANTASTIC qualifications. I much better question is what qualifications does Rudy Guiliani have?
Reply:Even JIMMY CARTER will not vote for Mrs. Bill Clinton.

How do I find out whether someone who says he was injured in Vietnam actually served/received a purple heart?
I'm researching a man who is Internet-wooing an older woman I know. I'm trying to find out if he's legitimate. Is there a registry of Purple Heart recipients, or a way I can verify his service in the Marine Corps?
How do I find out whether someone who says he was injured in Vietnam actually served/received a purple heart?
Wrong on obtaining veteran info from the VA. You can obtain it but only if you are a relative. I have applied for my father's records. He died in 1965. Soon as 50 years have passed from death it goes public. Course I probably could with congressman assistance. But I volunteer at the VA Hospital. I am duty bound to preserve privacy of patients and just feel it even goes to my dad, though deceased. He may have wanted something to remain private.
I did apply to the Military Records in St Louis. You can get records from them. Unfortunately my dad's records as well as my own were burned up when draft protesters set fire to them. All that exists is our names, service numbers, rank, dates of service, training and unit assignments. You can apply for info with name and service number. I believe SS was used for service number 1968 and on. The biggest damage by fire was something like names S through Z. I think in 1973.
My great grandfather's records were easy. National Archieves. Even have all his pay voutchers, battle musters and enlistment papers from the Civil War. I had hoped for a picture though.
Your best way of proving a military record is simply ask to see his DD214 discharge papers. All awards are listed. Purple Heart Society would give the info if a member. But most vets like to simply forget about service medals issued for combat.
Reply:Even if you do pay for a background check you'd better be sure it's the right person. There are 26 people with my exact same name in the same exact city and some are my age and have done some pretty bad things and a few can't find a darn thing on. My own Dad was a fantastic Army high ranking officer and there are some people with the same name and age that are at the opposite end of the gammit.
Reply:Yes you can contact the Vetrans Adminstration they have a record of all Purple Heart ricipients. I believe it's a Federal charge to impersonate a hero. If not it should be!
Reply:i know the Intuit service can tell you - I think the basic history is about 8.00 per person for 1 time only.
If you want to spend a lot of time on it you probably can find it somewhere on line...probably links through the Department of Defense website - I would try that. But if I wanted to really know about someone I would just pay the 8 bucks and have a back round check! There may be a totally different story or the story will be totally confirmed- good luck to you and your Friend and stay safe!

How do you verfiy the authenticity of a purple heart?
I would like to know what markings to look for to verify if a purple heart is genuine from the World war II era.
Thanks
How do you verfiy the authenticity of a purple heart?
Here is a site that talks about fakes.

Reply:Where are you buying a Purple Heart from?
Why are you looking to buy one?
I have one that I received from a 3 star general during desert Storm. It looks pretty much the same as my grandfathers from WWII. So, I'm not sure what to tell you.
Reply:One caveat. In April of 1945 the War Department placed an order for a massive supply of Purple Heart Medals in anticipation of Operation Olympic, the land invasion of Japan. They were not needed because the atom bombs helped bring the Pacific War to a close. But, there were so many that we are still using up that supply to decorate our current wounded.
Reply:is it purple?
Reply:it should have a commendation with it but if it does not take it to the local v.a. and they should be able to tell you if it is real.
