When in a combat situation, and you get blood or bodily fluids of other injured soldiers, while trying to save/help them, you will most likely receive a Purple Heart. Do your research before you post an error that is incorrect.

Remember, Josh Hartnett's character was killed during the Attack on Pearl Harbor. If I remember correctly, the nurse that was taking the Purple Heart was Hartnett's characters fiancee.

It's probably true that Evelyn (the nurse) was accepting the medal for Danny (remember at the beginning when ben affleck said that top-secret missions were when you won medals but they had to send them to your relatives?) but if this is true, why did the nurses standing next to evelyn get purple hearts too?
