A member of my basic training company at Ft Leonard Wood was one of the 997. None of the 10 men on the huey got the purple heart because although the ship was under fire at the time of the crash, the Army determined it was mechanical failure.

what a bunch of $hit!!Originally Posted by pcox
I'm still pissed that I did not get a C.I.B as I got a Purple Heart as a infantry squad leader, another as a recon man, and the 3rd one as a tank commander. On paper, I was an 11 Echo Tanker. So, NO C.I.B. I'd take that medal any day over a PH !!
