Friendly Fire Victims now eligible for the Purple Heart Medal

 

During the Vietnam War over thirty percent of US injuries and

fatalities were caused by friendly fire... Americans firing on other

Americans. During the Gulf Campaign, over fifty percent of US

casualties were caused by friendly fire.

 

To recognize these injured and dead Americans the Purple Heart can now

be issued either to the victim or to a member of his/her family.
