FOX News: Report: Chattanooga Victims May Not Be Eligible for Purple Hearts
Four Marines and one sailor who were killed in the Chattanooga shooting reportedly will only be eligible to receive Purple Heart awards if the FBI declares the shooter had ties to a terror organization.
The FBI has only referred to Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez as a "homegrown violent extremist."
“Determination of eligibility will have to wait until all the facts are gathered and the FBI investigation is complete,” Marine Corps public affairs officer Maj. Clark Carpenter told the Marine Corps Times.
WNU Editor: The investigation is still ongoing, but I will be surprised if they rule that the shooter was NOT motivated by Islamic State propaganda when he decided to lunch his attack. As for the families .... aside the fact that they have lost their loved ones .... the loss of benefits will be a doubly hurt.
