No more purple hearts being given out after "Mission Accomplished"?
Listening to Malloy...caller from Florida said he's
heard that anyone wounded now in Iraq isn't getting
a purple heart since Bush declared "mission accomplished".
Anyone know anything about this?

3. This sounds like Bulls--t
The Purple Heart is awarded for wounds suffered in conflict with the enemy. We don't have to be at war for a wounded service member to get the Purple Heart.

This also has the earmarks of an urban myth - second hand info, no source cited.

5. This would indicate they are getting Purple Hearts.
