My son in law is an USAF officer who had an EID explode near his humvee and it knocked him around pretty good in the vehicle. He took a good hit to his elbow and a couple years later needed some surgery to fix something. I don't know a lot of details but he was serving in Afghanistan at the time. Would he rate a Purple Heart, seems like he would from what I read. Does he apply or needs to get recommended. He's never said anything about it, he's kinda quiet about certain things. Thanks for looking.
