<p>President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> claimed Friday that someone in his family won the Purple Heart for his actions during a famous battle in World War II — however, there is reportedly no evidence to substantiate Biden&#8217;s claims and key details make it impossible for the story to be true.</p>
<p>The president — who is notorious for making up stories, making embarrassing gaffes, or forgetting basic details — made the remarks on Friday at a Delaware Veterans Summit and PACT Act Town Hall.</p>
<p>The story was about Biden&#8217;s uncle Frank, who he claimed fought in the Battle of the Bulge, Nazi Germany&#8217;s last major offensive campaign during the war where the Nazis failed to split the allied forces, paving the way for the allies to win the war.</p>
<p>Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/12/16/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-delaware-veterans-summit-and-pact-act-town-hall-new-castle-de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>You know, I — my dad, when I got elected vice president, he said, “Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.” He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge. But he said, “And he won the Purple Heart. And he never received it. He never — he never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We’ll surprise him.”</em></p>
<p><em>So we got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge. And I remember he came over to the house, and I came out, and he said, “Present it to him, okay?” We had the family there.</em></p>
<p><em>I said, “Uncle Frank, you won this. And I want to…” He said, “I don’t want the damn thing.” (Laughter.)  No, I’m serious. He said, “I don’t want it.” I said, “What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it.” He said, “Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>However, Biden&#8217;s father, Joseph R. Biden Sr., died in September 2002, more than six years before Biden became vice president in the Obama administration, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/16/biden-claims-his-uncle-frank-won-purple-heart-but-story-doesnt-add-up/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.</p>
<p>Frank Biden died even earlier, in 1999, more than nine years before Biden became vice president.</p>
<p>The report noted that an extensive search of multiple record databases did not find any evidence that Frank Biden was ever awarded the Purple Heart.</p>
