I believe that many of you read the excerpt posted under this section a few days ago regarding my father. One of the excerpts dealt with my father being injured in the line of duty and being sent to a field hospital.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much detail in the report, so at this moment I do not know much. However, when I was discussing this with my husband, brother-in-law and sister-in-law this afternoon, my husband reminded me of a conversation many, many years ago at the house of an old army buddy of my dads. It was so long ago that I had forgotten it, but my hubby did not.
He said, remember when Ira was telling us about your dad running courier on his motorcycle? Ira had told us that he was injured from a mortar shell. Oh my God, I had forgotten this! 
Now I am wondering, why I did not see his name in the docs I have for Awards, Decorations, etc. His name was not mentioned for a purple heart. Unfortunately Ira is no longer here, but clearly remembered my dad's injury.
I guess I am hoping to find out more when I receive the morning reports, etc. from NARA in St Louis. I hope to rectify this. Don't know if I can...
