The first people to reach the crash site to recover the bodies was 5 days after the incident. Needless to say the recovery team did not perform an extensive investigation on the crash because of the AOR (Area of Recovery) was in HOSTILE Territory, Quang Tin Province. There were no wittnesses to the incident that could confirm any details of the crash.
My Question is; Should the personnel KIA in that crash been awarded THE PURPLE HEART MEDAL? Regard's, TK
