Peter, my dad got a Purple Heart in WW II, for a tiny piece of shrapnel in his ass. He was a navigator on a C-47. The shrapnel came from flak on a parachute drop over Sicily. A doctor pulled the metal out, and put some mecurochrome and a band-aid on the wound. He spent no time in the hospitial, and missed no duty. He didn't request the medal, the Army Air Corps just gave it to him. He didn't think much of it. If his legs had been blown off, he'd have gotten the same Purple Heart.
