Most personnel who served in the armed forces during WW1 were eligible for the World War 1 Victory Medal for periods of service between 1917-1918? The WWI Victory Medal had nothing to do with being wounded. US soldiers wounded received a Certificate, which later, when the Purple Heart Medal was created in 1932, could be "turned in" for a Purple Heart Medal.

The Oak Leaf Cluster is not a medal. It is a small pin in the shape of an oak leaf that is issued for the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th) time you receive a medal. If you earned a Purple Heart Medal for being wounded, then the second time you would be issued "an oak leaf to the Purple Heart Medal". Campaign Medals were issued for service in a region for a specific time. Then if you continued serving and were in another campaign, you would receive a 2nd Oak Leaf to the Campaign Medal. Thus the Normandy landing was one campaign. Then if you fought into Germany there was one for that.
A purple medal would be the Purple Heart that is given in the US Military to people who have been wounded or killed in action.
