According to the Holland Sentinel, the veteran sold his purple heart because he was “falling on hardtimes.” The purple heart was sold to A-Z Outlet owned by Bryan VandenBosch, in West Michigan.
Bryan said that in his 19 years in the pawn shop business, this was the first time he has ever gotten a purple heart. He declined reporting how much he bought the award for but said “I won’t ever sell it. If he ever decides he wants it, it will be here waiting for him.”
Bryan says that the soldier told him that the award was one of the two purple hearts he earned while serving in Afghanistan.
It’s sad to know that times are this hard for some people. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get by!
