I am a purple heart recipient from OIF - And no there is no official list of purple heart recipients. If you have reason to question the claims of a veteran that he/she received a purple heart you can contact the Veteran's Records held in St. Louis under the freedom of information Act. Another good place to find information is the Military Order of the Purple Heart. You can not become a member unless you have a purple heart, and it is the only Veteran's organization sanctioned by the Congress. Though, not all purple heart vets are members due to awareness. When I was inducted there was a WWII Vet with me who after all those years just found out about the MOPH. The MOPH also just published a book with the Names and medals of it's members. So if you are skeptical about a veteran's claims of a purple heart you can 1.) ask to see there DD214, there award letter and certificate, there MOPH card, or request copies of there record from St. Louis under the freedom of information Act. More, if the Veteran is claiming to also have been a Navy Seal you can visit G. Gordon Liddy's website that has a link dedicated to exposing frauds claiming to be seals or former seals. Liddy's son is a seal, and they have an extensive database of all seals past and present.
