Again you are living your life through your father's accomplishments, not your own.
"I never felt my injuries compared to him."
Also turning down a VA disability because of a conviction. How do you pay for pills, med treatment, and any other prosthetic(s) devices you may need? Or any other care needed? There is something fishy here.
I admit, I turned down two purple hearts because I felt at the time I wasn't as severely hurt as some of my brother Marines, after all, my injuries were just thorns from jumping through bamboo tree lines taking cover from incoming rounds , mortar, and rocket fire. But the big distinction is one is an award,(Purple Hearts) the other is necessary treatment for service connected disabilities. I may have empathy for you if your story is true, but I still think it's fishy.

Since I was raised by my grand parents and did not get to know my dad till after his service time I would disagree with you.
Let's see you turned down 2 PH's for the same reason I felt about making a VA claim. If anyone should understand my logic it sounds like you should.
At any rate at 60 years old I Don't care what your thoughts are about me Marine if you really were one.
The issue was all of the negative talk about America, what I feel from this board discussion is you and may others are the problem for our current issues in this country.
You have lost you will to lead by example and the odds are you continue to vote career politicians into office year after year.
