Purple Heart Eligibility ChangedWeek of October 20, 2008
Prisoners of war who have died in captivity since the attack on Pearl Harbor
on Dec. 7, 1941 are now eligible for the Purple Heart award. The new policy
will allow retroactive award of the Purple Heart to qualifying POWs since
World War II, which will cover a large number of American POWs who died in
captivity during that war. Each military department will publish application
procedures for retroactive Purple Heart awards. Family members with questions
may contact the services directly: Air Force, 800-616-3775; Army,
703-325-8700; Navy, 314-592-1150; Marine Corps, 703-784-9340.
