hmm...so, are you telling me that someone that was in country for "only" four months could not get a purple heart? One of my best friends was in country only 92 days (less than 4 months my friend), he was shot and had his hearing nad legs broke by concussion bombs while trying to save a a wounded marine. I guess that his purple heart was not deserved and was trumped up. Give me abreak buddy, I haven't walked in my friend Mike or Kerry's shoes, so I won't second guess him. Maybe you shouldn't either.
