Thanks for confirmation of that database!

Knew that was coming.  As I have before many in the service who have received the Purple Heart call it that.  It is not disdain.

AI OverviewThe "I-forgot-to-duck" medal is a long-standing, wry nickname used by US service members for the Purple Heart, indicating that the recipient was wounded in combat. This phrase is a form of military humor aimed at humbling the prestige of the medal, often referencing the idea that a wound was simply a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time or not moving fast enough.

It was the Search function, brainless little piece of ****...

Thanks for the further confirmation that you're an idiot.

aimed at humbling the prestige of the medal,

what does your source mean by."humbling the prestige"?
