Didn’t need any more reason to think that Goodwill was one of the worst businesses in existence, but this put the icing on the cake...

A Purple Heart earned during World War II will soon be returned to the recipient's family in Missouri after it was sold for $4.99 at an Arizona Goodwill store. Laura Hardy says she was shopping at a Mesa, Arizona, Goodwill over the weekend when her husband spotted the Purple Heart on display in the store’s jewelry section.

I believe it is illegal to sell those. I know there is a federal statute that they can’t sell replicas but I thought you couldn’t sell real ones either. Might be wrong on that part though.

Here is another one from a few years ago about a guy who bought a bomber jacket at a Goodwill, and returned it to the 90 year-old World War II vet it originally belonged to.

Someone donated a medal to Goodwill.
They sold it. Which is what they do with donated items.
You have to be the biggest saddest snowflake in the world to get triggered by that.

There are people out there who collect medals. Since WWII a lot of medals have been sold off, sent to Goodwill, or even thrown in the trash. There have been plenty of purple hearts found discarded like rubbish. At least collectors continue to honor the memory of the men and women who earned those medals.
There is talk of legislation to prevent the buying and selling of Purple Heart medals in the U.S. The only thing this will do is push all those medals to foreign collectors. Where do you think all the Medals of Honor are now? They're all overseas because it's illegal to possess them in this country.

Why would someone want a Purple Heart.
It is the award you really would like to avoid if all possible from earning.
