Me too. It’s what allows you to hang your head high.
By the way..you look like a real hard azz in you avatar..not the nice guy you are here.
Maybe consider a picture with some teeth showing?

can not imagine giving away a purple heart or any other medal for that matter. But, I have a son that has given away or sold things that killed me. he doesn't get important things anymore but my daughter and her sons get them.

That has to hurt. My advice is don’t let it affect your relationship with your son.
Sometimes we try and pass ALL of our values down and a couple are bound to fall through the cracks.
Don’t set the bar too high.

That’s a great way to look at it. Thank you huntsman. I should have been more gracious with my post.
Thank you to all veterans for what you gave of yourselves.

I saw nothing in your post that wasn't fact and true, so you have nothing to apologize for! I had many members of my' family that served this Country during the Revolutionary War (two of which I know were Minutemen), possibly during the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII and Vietnam and wish I had more information and maybe some Medals that they received for their' service and their' actions to cherish. All I do have, is my' second cousin's (Tom's) Mother's Bible that lists all of the Medals he received and all of the major engagements he was in during WWII. He landed at one the beaches in Normandy on D-Day, made the first beach landing in Italy and the first beach landing in North Africa besides fighting across France to push the Germans back to Germany. Poor Tom was so screwed up after the war, that he started embellishing his war stories more and more each time he told them and being an alcoholic made it worse. It got so bad, that many of the family was calling him a liar each time he told a story and it only made him drink more. My' maternal Grandfather served during the Spanish-American War and we believe but still have no proof that he served in WWI and WWII. However, we do know he helped work on building the Atomic Bomb in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and it is likely radioactivity that caused him to be bedridden for the last 6 or more years of his life.

Dirt no matter what you did the right thing and good Juju should come your way. As to the recipients reaction; Someone contacting you out of the blue about sending you something of their relatives for FREE sometimes set off warning bells. In today's society, getting something for free is is viewed as "if it's too good to be true, it probably is". There are a lot of scams out there. Don't take it personal. Good job. Good luck.

Thank you Sir! You are connected to a proud history of people that believed in this country.

Some things may have excited them more like something they remember the individual with, his hat, his knife, etc..
