Hug a wounded warrior.
This is the Auld Soldier's collection. Missing from his *seven* are the bayonet wound, and the chinese hand grenade fragments buried with him.
All of his took stitches, I would note, even if, especially during his time in Korea, there was no time for a week or so recovering. It was out to the Brit destroyer offshore to get the bayonet wound sewn up, then back into the fight, and three weeks later drop by an evac hospital to get the stitches out and... back to the fight.
And remember, most of the people in the Gardens of Stone with wartime dates, only have one Purple Heart. All Hearts are not equal in that respect.
