The Purple Heart Purple Heart Museum Vails Gate, N.Y., near West Point Bobby Frink - War Hero Extrodinaire A hero's hero, when he walks in the room even other heroes cry | Another Sacred Institution Desecrated In 2001 Bush signed the Jewish War Veterans Act, which said Jews are to be given 168 Medals of Honor, because of prior discrimination. Now in 2006, the Jewish war heroes are clamoring for the Purple Heart. They are falling all over each other, making up war stories, and declaring themselves the next Audie Murphy. Bobby Frink is a poster boy for this travesty, he tells of being shot in the head, and living. | | Jewish war veterans act of 2001 In 2001 a Senator Wexler introduced a bill that will force the armed services to award 138 Medals of Honor to Jewish soldiers because the previous review boards were' Anti-Semitic' This bills directs the Secretaries of the military departments to conduct a review of military service records to determine whether certain Jewish American war veterans, including those previously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, or Air Force Cross, should be awarded the Medal of Honor: | Jewish war veterans bill SECTION 1.

Clinton passes a law and gives seven African American and twenty one Asians the Medal. Jewish groups now claim it's their turn and a law is passed giving 138 Jews the Medal. | “Deceit and Lying about the Medals of Honor” The below message, edited and condensed, was accepted for publication by the Army Times, the paper of record for the regular army. I had sent a picture to accompany the article. Then the paper, owned by Gannett Newspapers decided not to run what I wrote. The editor, Brian McKiel, who previously talked to me would not come to the phone. My letters and phone calls went unanswered. I had crossed the line. bmackei@armytimes.com ************************************************************************************************** | One Japanese Regiment receives 20 Medal of Honor I write perplexed and angered from the perspective of the lower and middle classes that have long felt national politics has passed them by. Awarding the Medals of Honor to 20 Japanese-Americans for gallantry in World War II some 50 years afterwards must strike the tastemakers of America as appropriate. Yet reviewing some hard facts lead to differing conclusions. In 1940 the population of America was 131 million to include 13 million African-Americans, some 5 million Jewish-Americans and about 113 million others, largely white. In that war some 292,000 Americans died under battlefield conditions and 116,000 under conditions other than combat. | Dial Press in 1947 published American Jews in World War II: The Story of 550,000 Fighters for Freedom. This book used information and numbers compiled by the Jewish National Welfare Board that assigned rabbis to the military. (Kaufman, American Jews in World War II: The Story of 550,000 Fighters for Freedom (2 volumes), p349 (Vol I), Dial Press, 1947) Its caveat that the record was not complete as it used data available as of July 1, 1946 should be weighed against the fact the war ended almost one year earlier and the Board had access to military records. This book claimed that the 11 percent of Jews who served were 3.5 percent of the total armed forces of the United States and was followed by the assertion: "This approximates their ratio in the total population". Then the claim was made that 10,500 Jews died in military service with 8000 in combat. These figures were the ones accepted by the Encyclopedia Judaica edition printed in 1972 for participation by American Jews in World War II. . (Encyclopedia Judaica, Vol 15, p1634 (Kefer Press, 1972)) Jews of America died at the rate of 2.1 per 1000 Jews with 1.6 dying in combat. Black Soldiers | If blacks had contributed to battle deaths in World War II in the same proportion as the rest of the populace some 29,000 would have died. This number would be more than forty times greater than the number that did die using the Ebony Handbook figures of 700 dead blacks. (Ebony Handbook, p202 (Johnson Publishing, 1974)) The official record, Army Battle Casualties and Nonbattle Deaths in World War II, which was published in 1953, counted 624 deaths among battle casualties for the 92d Division. For the 93d Division the total came to 17 deaths. (Army Battle Casualties and Nonbattle Deaths in World War II: Final Report - 7 December 1941 - 31 December 1946, pp88-90, (Statistical and Accounting Branch Office of the Adjutant General, published 1 June 1953) These were the only two black divisions that faced an enemy. Tales of Tuskegee airmen in aerial dogfights and the battering down of concentration camp gates by liberating black troops exist in the fertile minds of those who work in determining the permissible in American culture, even if it is not true or highly exaggerated. An estimate of some 5000 dying under non-combat conditions seems reasonable as African-Americans were not being trained for combat on a scale commensurate with whites. | What bothers has been not that this number is not discussed, but that the American media code of conduct has forbidden its open knowledge. Harsh truths must be avoided in what the media have sensed as their duty to shape and guide society by presentation of what they perceive as socially acceptable facts. American ineptitude was not limited to the Afro-American Divisions. The performance of the 92d Division in battle was likened to the all-white 106th Division that bore the initial onslaught during the Battle of the Bulge and also "melted away. As poorly as the black divisions fought, their incompetence did not match that of the all-white 9th Infantry division at Kasserine Pass. The 9th Division and the 106th Division both got another chance. The black divisions did not. African-Americans died at a rate less than 0.5 per 1000 blacks. This leaves the remaining 113 million including include the Nisei. These Americans died at the rate of 3.4 per 1000 of population. To compare this number with other nations who fought in both World Wars of this century is to appreciate how little America suffered in comparison. | For bravery during World War II some 430 Medals of Honor were awarded. There is some discrepancy on the number. Roughly for every 700 combat deaths one Medal of Honor was awarded. If that proportion held true with blacks, one black would have received the Medal of Honor. However, a beaming Bill Clinton belatedly bestowed a total of 7 to his most faithful constituency. One must now acknowledge that if blacks did not die in proportion to their numbers, those that did die were proportionately 7 times braver than whites. Blacks now claimed one Medal of Honor for every 100-battle deaths. Mr. Clinton knows what people, particularly his most fervent supporters, wish to hear. Honesty and truth matter very little to him. It seems the entire nation now takes his approach to truth and relevance. Blacks did not die in proportion to their numbers of draft-age young men in Vietnam. An American press far more interested in sensationalism than unpleasant facts fomented fragging of officers, mostly by blacks against whites. | For Jews during World War II one Medal of Honor was awarded. (Congressional Record, Vol 96, pp13735-6, Aug 29, 1950) To put this in perspective Senator Warren Barbour of New Jersey on November 25, 1940 noted the pride of Jews of their record during World War I and inserted in the Congressional Record an article that had appeared in the Jewish Times dated 10 days earlier. (Congressional Record, Vol 86, pp6696-7, Nov 25, 1940) This article named six Jews who were awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in World War I. The number of Medals of Honor for the entire American expeditionary force was 120. Jews did perform valorously in that war. A cursory inspection of the numbers for Japanese-Americans raises suspicions. They claim to be the most decorated unit in American history. Over 600 dead and some 9500 wounded in World War II are numbers generally given as casualties. One web site lists those killed by name, rank and place and date of death. ( www.ajawarvets.com ) The total was 530 dead. Another web site lists about 750 names of Japanese-Americans who died. ( www.webcom.com/akato/442kia ) Yet the Japanese-American population in 1940 in the continental United States was estimated at 126,947 (16th Census of the United States: 1940, Vol II, part 1, p21, table 6) and on Hawaii at 157,905 (Census of the Population: 1950, Vol II Characteristics, Parts 51-54, table 8, 52-13). The population was skewed with males being almost 155,000 of the total. The death rate of 3.4 per 1000 in the general population should read about 6.8 per 1000 males as very, very few females died in that war. If Japanese-Americans had died at the rate of their white, non-Jewish neighbors over 1050 would have died. Like Jews, their fellow countrymen died at a rate more than 50% greater than they. What impressed as most striking of all is the claim that for every dead casualty some 15 were wounded. The official record for Army battle casualties in World War II gave some 142,962 infantry dead under battle conditions and other battle casualties at 518,097 wounded. (Army Battle Casualties and Nonbattle Deaths in World War II: Final Report 7 December 1941 – 31 December 1946, p5, (Office of Adjutant General, June 1953) Considering Japanese-Americans fought almost exclusively as infantry, this method of comparison seems appropriate. These supermen were able to sustain wounds and not die at a rate some 4 times their fellow mortals who had less than 4 wounded for every killed. Could anyone outside the media and entertainment circus believe that claptrap? Needless to add they will be recognized as far more valorous than their contemporaries were. | With 22 Medals of Honor awarded for their sacrifice by a beaming Bill Clinton Japanese-Americans are now recognized as the bravest of the American brave. For every 30 of their deaths in combat (or 25 if the lower number is correct) one Medal of Honor was awarded. The rest of American servicemen must dwell on the thought that even if those of Japanese ancestry did not die in the same proportion as they, the Japanese strain is recognized as the bravest. Future generations will regard them 20 times more brave than whites. | In particular their record at Monte Cassino will be remembered. One disinterested observer, the man called by Omar Bradley the General's General, British Field Marshall Alexander commented pithily on the great difficulty the allies had at Monte Cassino. Alexander wrote to Field Marshall Brooke: "Unfortunately we are fighting the best soldiers in the world - what men!". I do not think any other troops could have stood up to it except those para boys". (D'Este, Bitter Victory, p576 (Harper Perennial, 1991)) He was referring to the German paratroopers. In the Pacific Japanese infantry attempted to run through marine machine guns, and one must ask if the second-generation Nisei did likewise in Italy. The lower and middle classes in America will continue to suffer insults and denigration by a media and entertainment industry concerned with pandering to what they perceive as necessary fantasies for their psychic well-being. An American Congress so concerned with reelection and fearful will continue to value lives of American servicemen drawn from the middle and lower classes much less than whatever strikes Hollywood as inappropriate.

Robert Frink was captured in Germany during the final months of World War II. He and two comrades were forced to swap uniforms with their Waffen SS captors, lined up and shot in the back of the head. Miraculously, the bullet entered Frink's neck and exited his cheek without shearing his spine or jugular vein. He even felt a German kick him as he lay bleeding. "Believe me, I played dead!" After his captors left, Frink fled, found some Canadian troops, and was saved. The wound earned him a Purple Heart. Sixty-one years later, it is earning him an entry on the "Roll of Honor," a database being compiled for a museum honoring Purple Heart recipients. When the museum, the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, opens in November, visitors will be able to search out facts and stories about soldiers wounded or killed. New York officials heading the project think -- though no one knows for sure -- there are up to 1.7 million soldiers who belong on the list. So they're putting out a call: If you or a family member has been awarded the Purple Heart, they want you. More precisely, they want your information for the most comprehensive list of American military sacrifice. "Somewhere, in every family tree, this is going to hit home," said state Parks Commissioner Bernadette Castro. The Hall of Honor is being built at a woodsy historic site north of New York City where George Washington's army camped toward the end of the Revolutionary War. It was here in 1782 that Washington created the Badge of Military Merit, which he decreed would be "the figure of a heart in purple cloth." How many have been awarded, no one knows. Clark has heard of wounded World War II soldiers told to simply grab one from a box. But a tally of the wounded and dead from World War I on is about 1.7 million, most from World War II. It's impossible to find and verify every single award. But the modest staff at the state historic site is trying. After quietly collecting information for years, parks officials in March put out a widespread plea for veterans and families to share stories and materials for hall. Clark said about 5,000 responses have come in, everything from e-mails from Iraq to packages with typed stories and sepia-tinged photos. Ronald Vellner sent in a tiny piece of metal shrapnel that pierced his right thigh in Korea. Survivors of Frank Emberson sent in a small envelope stuffed with photos; a corner of the envelope is frayed off where a bullet caromed off his breast pocket into his arm during World War II. The men and their stories will be included on the Roll of Honor. Clark also is coaxing wounded veterans to tell their story in front of cameras for the museum's exhibits and archives. There's a sense of urgency because the number of surviving World War II veterans is shrinking quickly. Ironically, members of that legendarily stoic generation are providing a lot of the stories. Project workers think older veterans realize it's finally time to talk. Frink, for instance, barely mentioned his near-miss execution in Germany since coming home to California in 1945. Now 81, he still chokes up recalling how his two comrades who were killed. He finally wrote down his story recently and e-mailed it to a veterans' Web site. "I've had a hard time grappling with this baggage I've been carrying around all these years," Frink said. "Years later, it still hurts." Full Article | | Where Is The Harm?
