...... And since the round
didn't even break the skin, poor Bob never even got a Purple Heart.

I seem to recall that "Tail Gunner Joe" McCarthy got a Purple Heart
for falling down a ladder on a ship that was not involved in combat at
the time. I wonder if his skin was broken.

Perhaps he scuffed his knee.
