<p>[QUOTE=&quot;51Caveman, post: 8232240, member: 88840&quot;]I served 24 yrs Air Force. My Dad, 21 years Navy, My Son, 8 years Army, My Son in Law (who retires after 20 yrs in July). I was blown up in two different Fighter Aircraft explosions, ribs broken on 6 different occasions, thermal burns to both eyes, multiple broken bones, lots and lots of stitches, collapsed lung, TBI, shrapnel wounds, and guano virus. Whew...they tried to kill me! I did receive The Airmans Medal for Heroism. And a few other Meritorious and Commendation medals. But none of those actions were considered to be combat related so no Purple Heart. My son took a Mortar round in Iraq. He is ok and 1 Purple Heart for him. My son in law was in a serious firefight in Afghanistan. He&#039;s ok. One more Purple Heart in my family. So Yes, I ordered Purple heart coins for them. They don&#039;t collect coins but I thought it would be a nice piece to display with their Awards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
