What is the medal awarded by the Army for wounds in combat?
Correct answer: Purple Heart
Jwolf2474
I would like to point out that it is not just the U.S. Army that receives the Purple Heart, but any member of the United States Armed Services that is injured in the line of duty or in a front line untit during war time is eligible for the Purple Heart, and it is not uncommon for it to be given posthumously. My heart goes out to all the military members and their families that have received this medal.

My dad and my uncle both got one. It’s a shame that some families sell them when the veteran passes away. I’ve seen several for sale (and other medals) at flea markets and swap meets. They all have numbers on the back so they can be traced back to the veteran who recieved it.

My Dad was wounded during WWII, where he served in the USN in the South Pacific. He was sent to a hospital in England and his paperwork was lost somehow. It bothered him sometimes and I tried to get it for him. He died in 2015 and is buried in the Chattanooga National Cemetery. I miss you Dad and I’m proud of you

My Dad received his Purple Heart 💜 while serving in the Army during the Vietnam war. We now have a special display for it along with the flag from his military funeral. I love and miss you Dad! ❤️❤️❤️

Purple Heart medal is nice gesture but veterans deserve more benefits after combat.

My great grandfather received a purple heart because he served during the war. unfortunately someone in my family stole it. they could have sold it for sure. so sad how people don't value this kind of recognition

Greeny Froggy, that's really sad to sell something that was given to those who fought for the country

Penny Plant, Unfortunately, not all family members cherish things like that. Makes me very sad that those things don't hold a place of importance to younger generations.

Greeny Froggy, Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, anyone caught buying or selling a Medal of Honor can face fines and up to a year in prison. Federal law says, if anyone outside the military caught selling 💜can face fines up to $100,000 and a year in jail. A little info for ya☺️

Greeny Froggy, GF, Your correct it is a shame when some families Sell these Honor Awards of Loved ones, However, it's more of a Shame when your own SPENDRIFT GOV. TURN THEIR BACKS ON THOSE VERY SURVIVORS who are in Need of Financial or Medical help!! Help I might add that even the VA HOSPITALS REFUSE TOO PROVIDE!!

My Grandfather and his brother served together on the US Russell during WWII, their ship was bombed his brother died, my Grandfather was given the Purple Heart awards his brother. During this time many brothers served together and died leaving families without heirs to carry the family name, this led to changes in the Draft
