Yes!
I'll bet there are quite a few who did not get purple hearts for the same reason. I had an uncle who died about five years ago who drove a tank and tank retriever across North Africa and Europe, and had three tanks shot out from under him. He got a back and leg injury, internal, in one of those, but never did report sick. He knew that if he got hospitalized that he would not get back to his same outfit and did not want to leave the men fighting beside him. He limped and hurt till he died without ever any recognition or injury pension.
