The Complex History of the Purple Heart

Two in my family lineage. My Uncle Tony killed in Sicely, he was a week SHORT, and then in for duration. That's a real bitch right there.
Uncle Danny wounded on Iwo compliments of Japaneese Artillery.

There's no winning here, you don't win this, more like shit happens and you deal with it. My uncle Dan suffered to the end a few years ago.

Good history lesson.
