Exchange Silver Victory Button for Purple Heart also?
My Grandfather's discharge papers from 1920 show he was wounded in action and it was stamped that he received a Silver Victory Button. While there is no WP article on this, there are other articles on the internet with pictures and descriptions of it, and it was issued to wounded soldiers in WWI. Another reference says that the US only started issuing Purple Hearts to WWI wounded veterans starting in 1932. Could it be that that to receive the Purple Heart, the veterans had to exchange BOTH the Wound Chevron AND the Silver Victory Button? (I cannot find Gramp's Silver Victory Button nor Wound Chevron, which leads me to ask this.) I have a picture of a Silver Victory Button from another website but cannot seem to insert it here.
