2. Mr. Moonbeam has had his for
13 years. The actual medal was stolen off his hospital gown while he was very groggy by a medic. He saw him do it and run away but Mr. Moonbeam couldn't find the buzzer button fast enough.

Still, he's got the DD 214 saying he was awarded it.

4. How much did you bleed for it, though?
I mean, you know. There might be a 527 group out there interested in these CLAIMS that you have a Purple Heart.

/sarcasm off

6. Get a case of brewskis and throw it a ball
I'll never get one.

If I ever got one, I would bring mines over and we'd have a real party.

8. My arm had a collison with 216gr of Chinese lead at about
1800fps or so.

The lead kept going, my arm, thankfully, did not.

And yes, there were American troops in Viet Nam after 1973, in spite of what history books say, there were Marines in Viet Nam right up to the last helicopter off the roof of the Embassy in 1975.
