Jeff. I have one of these certificates that was my Grandfathers. I have been trying to get the purple Heart for my mom the next of kin. Been trying now for ten years. The natioal personnel records center seems not to acknowlodge it as proof. His records were lost when the center had a fire back in 1973. The VA can't locate his records for me to see if there is any other proof of him being wouned. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated. His discharge papers are missing and his head stone at the national cemetery is mark PH for the Purple Heart. He was in the 82nd Division 325th infantry company c. Bob
