-
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a great cased Purple Heart Medal engraved to Lieutenant Robert D. Woodby, Battery F, 16th Artillery, who served for several years in theater during the Vietnam War. The medal comes engraved in its original presentation case with its ribbon & pin still intact.
The Purple Heart (PH) is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the President to those wounded or killed while serving, on or after April 5, 1917, with the U.S. military. With its forerunner, the Badge of Military Merit, which took the form of a heart made of purple cloth, the Purple Heart is the oldest military award still given to U.S. military members – the only earlier award being the obsolete Fidelity Medallion. The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor is located in New Windsor, New York.
The medal comes with several printed pages of research showing Woodby’s service history, and the mentioning of his Purple Heart Medal, which was awarded for wounds received in action on June 7th, 1969. This is a fantastic medal with tons of research potential. Comes ready for further research and display!
