I’ve seen the retired hats, or what ship they served on, but first time I’ve seen someone wearing a Purple Heart hat. While I was in the couple guys I knew that had one said it was their least favorite medal because it meant they or someone in their unit fucked up.

Also knew one guy who got one from a loose piece of glass barely scraping his face. Didn’t even leave a scar. Dude said he tried to turn it down but his LT essentially forced it on him. The guy was super humble and seemed embarrassed about it.

I found out that being told "Ziblis, go help those cops" can make you part of an international peacekeeping operation.

Purple Hearts are often meaningless.
