Those Denied Purple Heart Should Reapply

                 

Active-duty and reserve-component Soldiers, as well as veterans, who were denied Purple Heart awards for concussive or mild traumatic brain injuries are encouraged to resubmit documentation for reconsideration of the medal. The injury must have occurred on or after Sept. 11, 2001. Active-duty and reserve-component Soldiers must resubmit through their chains of command. Veterans should submit packages directly to Army Human Resources Command. They can obtain copies of their deployment orders from the Veteran's Inquiry Branch by Emailing veterans@conus.army.mil. Veterans will also need to submit their DD Form 214.
