My dad's Purple Heart
My dad was a Navy Hospital Corpsman - a medic - attached with 1st Marine Division during World War II and the Korean War.
He was wounded (mortar shrapnel) at Inchon during the Korean War. Dad's Purple Heart is in a shadow box with the rest of his
decorations and now belongs to my eldest grandson who proudly displays the decorations awarded to all four of his great-grandfathers.
