Hi JDN. No, I was never wounded three times in less than three months. Are you thinking that his purple hearts weren't valid?

I don't know how it was when you were there but during my time they gave out purple hearts for ANY wound suffered in combat. It got a little silly sometimes. I told the medic not to put me in for a purple heart once when I picked up a piece of shrapnel from my own frag in a firefight. I was never badly wounded. The longest time I was out of the field for wounds was less than two weeks and I was wounded again less than two months later.

Yes, I do think it's possible.

PS. I don't agree with your politics but I think you have real integrity. Too much integrity to associate with some of the churlish, childish and small minded posters that try to identify with you.
