 WNIS 745, thank you. Michelle writes, she said, I cannot speak to Hung Kau or for him. However, our friend who is EOD and his fellow teammates were injured and fought for ages to get their paperwork properly submitted for a Purple Heart. The admin and the command failed to properly submit the documentation in the required time frame. He has TBI from the incident. He and others finally gave up on trying to obtain the award. That to say, it's probably not common, but does sometimes happen. And if the service member drops it, they may not receive the Purple Heart.
