My Step Father was Also a Purple Heart Recipient but I do not have that Medal to Show you since his Brother took it, He Was Shot in the Back by a Japanese Soldier. My Step Father made it Back from Iwo Jima but Many did Not.

Thank You to Everyone that comes By To Comment and Honor All that Gave Everything for Our Country..........God Bless You All............

Indeed. My grandfather, his brother and his brother’s-law were all in the Navy in the Pacific during WWII. All Naval Academy grads. His sisters were all WAVES.
