I don't know - I think the crewmen who deserve them 'like' medals. It's crew management after all .... lol
The Purple Heart changes to the Bronze Star Medal after modding the medals which makes a lot more sense IMO. The crew or I haven't seen a Purple Heart since March 2008.
First I tried "Midnighte1977's" realistic Decorations:

The box on the desk in the office doesn't work in my install but no 'biggie'
After this career is over there is a new medals fix by "CapnScurvy" that I want to try that includes the Navy Commendation Medal.

Anyway - I prefer handing out the Bronze Star Medal to the crew instead of the Purple Heart... especially if they haven't been injured.
