No, there is not. The Purple Heart is one of the most common awards and has been received by over 800,000 individuals.
No, at least not from the Vietnam era or prior.
This answer is inaccurate and does a poor job answering the question. The purple heart is one of the more uncommon awards in the military. There has been hundreds of millions of service members since the creation of the award. The number of Purple hearts awarded is estimated to be closer to 1.6 million. Purple heart recipients make up less then 1 percent of all service members to ever serve. There is no complete list but the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor has a list of over 70,000 recipient's.

∙ 9y agoYes, there is an official list of Purple Heart recipients, however record-keeping was not the best until the invention of the typewriter, so the early records are incomplete or illegible. Record-keeping improved by WW1 and WW2, however an additional problem was the the huge 1973 fire at the National Archives, National Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, Missouri that destroyed millions of personnel records.

Since Purple Heart recipients are now eligible for VA medical care, go to any VA Hospital and ask for the Service Officers. These are veterans' advocates employed by the DAV, VFW, AMVETS, American Legion, etc. to help vets get their awards and to help with claims.
