Could someone please help me, I have been asked to write a request to the
United States Army, requesting a Purple Heart Medal be awarded for wounds
received in Korea, during December 1950. This letter will be written for an
80 year old veteran,
any help that I can get will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely:

George D. Perry

George,

For the Word part, you open the application and start typing.

Actually, I believe the request is made on a Standard Form (SF180). Here is
a link that contains information (toward the end of the article) for
obtaining the form.

Contact your local Disabled American Veterans group (or lacking than, VFW)
and ask them for help. They have a staff person that can get you started.
I'd start tomorrow, even if you use MS Word it can take years to get it
processed.
