6 years? Hell, my Paw got 2 purple hearts and a whole slew of others! All he wanted was one medal that he'd lost somehow and President Bush's office sent him all 9!
Now he has 2 of most of his medals. Either they're giving them out like water or their making sure WW2 vets get them before they pass on to the happy hunting grounds.

What does that story have to do with you getting a purple heart? You are not mentioned in the story and nobody was even injured?? And since purple hearts are only given for injuries sustained in combat then nobody in that story should have received one.

By 1850 hours, the operation was over. Everybody was safe at Da Nang. But the most incredible part of the story was just being realized. Not one crewmember or evacuee sustained any injury whatsoever! Moreover, there was not one bit of battle damage to any helicopter! Not even a single bullet hole!

My father was permantly disabled from a gunshot wound.
Geo just wants to feel like a hero...whatever makes him feel good...
My father is the true hero and he and I spend our lives protecting society from all the other Geo's out there.

This is where I am mentioned
| Quote | Grouped in the Citadel, a walled military compound in the middle of Quang Tri proper, were 80 American advisors, and several members of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). There was only one way out—by helicopter.

I had been injured prior to the evac
| Quote | Quang Tri was now surrounded by four North Vietnam Army (NVA) divisions. The enemy had cut Highway 1, the only escape route south to safety, and had been pounding Quang Tri with artillery, mortars, and rockets for several weeks.

It was 80 americans 50 Arvn many of us was wounded and fighting for several weeks. I call that combat.
Quang Tri City I and II (1972). An objective of the North Vietnamese 1972 winter-spring offensive was the capture of Quang Tri, the northernmost major city in South Vietnam. The NVA overwhelmed the Army, Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) defenders (I). Later, the city was recaptured (II) by a smaller ARVN force using extensive artillery and air support. The large conventional forces involved on both sides made Quang Tri I and II the major urban battles of the Vietnam War. (Length of battle: Quang Tri I, 6 - 13 days; Quang Tri II, 30 days or greater) (Casualties: battles combined, 30,000+)

We fought in Vietnam
The land that God forgot
The mountains high, the rivers dry, the sun is
Blazing hot.
We cleaned a million rifles
And twice as many guns
And when we found a little time
We did the work not done
Early morn' that unforgettable day
We moved out in full force
We never forgot to pray
By sun up on that May day
We knew the battle was on its way
When all was done and the smoke had cleared
Those left saw the color they had feared
Red all over I could hear, pink mist was everywhere
From front to rear
We fought in mud and blazing heat
1000 enemy lay dead at our feet.
For all my brothers who died at Quang Tri
You fought so bravely for us to be free.
Let all America know, it will always be free
As long as we have Veterans, like at the
Battle of Quang Tri.
