Hood, Texas, a new push is underway to make the victims eligible for the Purple Heart. But the idea is drawing opposition from, among others, a group representing Purple Heart recipients, who liken the attack to workplace violence rather than combat. The drive to recognize Ft. Hood victims with the Purple Heart is being driven by Texans in Congress.[/I] [I]... But the Military Order of the Purple Heart, an organization of about 45,000 Purple Heart recipients, opposes authorizing the medal for those attacked by "one of their fellow soldiers at Ft.
