Ok, I feel a bit young and ignorant here.   :-[

Never even heard of the wound stripe before. I was under the impression that CF members didn't get jack for being wounded. Anyone have a description for the wearing of, or possibly even a picture of it?

I received the wound stripe from my injuries when I served in the FRY. Our C.O at the time knew of the implementation of the stripe, and recommended my mate, and I to for the stripe. We were some of the first to received it (Injured 31/12/2004, and received it in 95).

It is not like the American Purple heart in that you wear it like a medal ( those that are more familiar with medals and orders may explain better than I can why that is) anyways, Mine is worn on my sleeve.

It is Gold with a black border, I will scan mine and upload it for all to see.

I have a CD, CFPM, SFOR x 2 (Bosnia), Non-Article 5 (Bosnia). Would have been just as happy to have gotten a 3 for my medal then a separate medal....
