How do you find out who was awarded the purple heart i n 2007?

How would you earn a purple heart?
I have been wondering this myself and have been advised by military officials that if your command does not put in the paper work before leaving service your out of luck. You have to be nominated for every medal, even the PH, though the sterotype is that its automatic - its not. There are many troops in our situation. I had injuries myself in 2006 but was medically discharged before my command could put my paperwork in for anything. Then again there are loop holes for everything (just look at the marine who lost his leg that stayed in the USMC and even deployed again to OEF with his unit. So, keep your eye out and keep asking. You might find someone to help you, but from my experience, its slim. Best of luck to you.
