I am trying to get a purple heart for a perforated ear drum during combat in Viet Nam during the Tet Offensive. This was denied by the Army. Is this correct? Donald Ohmes

Be sure to have any and all documentation on your person when you go to an appointment. DD214, any medical records providing proof of the event/injury. Some times it takes multiple submissions before things are considered. Are you looking for a disability and or the commendation?

You need to contact the office during business hours and speak to a claims representative. Try calling either 816-756-3390 or 816-968-1153 to make an appointment.
