Purple Heart

The book the purple heart is about a young man the is in Iraq serving is country. While over there he wakes up in a hospital bed in a place he doesn't know. He asks the doctor what was wrong with him but they couldn't give him a stright answer. He was nervous not knowing what had happened to him, he couldn't remember a thing. Matt layed his head back into his pillow and fell back asleep. Matt woke up to a high ranking army officer standing over him with an award for him. He wasn't sure what it was but then the man pulled it out of the box and it was the purple heart. Matt didn't think he did anything good to be awarded the metal, also he wanted to know what happened to the rest of his squad and all he could do was lay there and rest. This book is really good to read. I have a hard time setting it down. I like this type of book because it relates to me since I plan to join the National Guard. I would recommend this book to anyone.
