We will never be able to put into words the gratitude we owe our military veterans and warriors. We can only do the best we can and pray for their safety.

What is nice about receiving the Purple Heart is that ya don't have to have died to receive it.
Good luck, Robb

Robb: That’s not correct. Every person KIA receives a Purple Heart.

Boris, you and your family are true patriots. My Uncle Pete went through WWII with only a sprained ankle and was badly hit in Korea on his 13th day in country. My son in law received three Purple Hearts in the desert.

My dad died in May. He was a proud veteran and Purple Heart recipient. I just posted a story about the road trip my sons and I took in his truck on the way home from AZ. Check it out on the Wisconsin page.

That's NOT what I said
I said you don't have to have died to receive one.
Sorry for the misunderstanding C-man.
Good luck, Robb
