Does a Veteran injured with a brain injury from a road side bomb deserve a Purple Heart?

His CO should have put the request in following the indecent. You, should get the VA to document everything, to his injuries that was related to the explosion. Once, you have the proof submit it to DOD. Keep pushing until you get your results you want.

I would think so. How long ago did it happen, and is he still in the service?

He certainly does deserve it.

I WOULD THINK SO.

It is time to enlist congressional support. Contact them and provide as many specifics as possible. They will run it down and provide the heat to get it done. Of course, this is if you have already pursued this through his chain of command. Give them a chance. Best of luck.

I was awarded one for a TBI.

Yes, any injury doing war is awarded the purple heart , his unit should have put him in for it, if not go to your local va administration and talk to them about it, or write your congressman .

Go to DOD forms management - form# DD-293 [review of discharge] submitted to Army Review Board in Alexandria, VA. Once the DD-214 is corrected, it will be amended w/a DD-215.
