Denis had been a soldier at war for more than three years, during which he had been in many battles and won many decorations. He was finally discharged from service and returned home to a wife and son whom he hadn’t seen in almost four years.
As he was walking up the path to his house, his young son spotted him and yelled, “Mommy, Mommy, here comes Daddy he’s got a purple heart on!” to which the mother replied, “I don’t give a dam what color it is! Let him in, and you go play at he Joneses’ for a couple of hours.”
