Purple Heart by Patricia McCormick III

Matt's rehabilitation process is going well. He can walk but he drags his right leg, he tries to cover it but Meghan Finnerty the evaluation specialist notices. He meets in her office everyday to update his progress. He has short-term memory loss, he cannot tell facial expressions, or be able to comprehend sarcastic jokes or puns.  Matt meets another solider named Francis. Francis is in the hospital because he's considered loony. He killed his squad leader, on accident. Francis and his squad were driving down a Iraqi road when his Humvee was his by and RPG and the squad split, half fleeing to the left and half to the right. Francis saw a figure in the dark, lasers in and fires. After he walks up to identify the body he realizes he shot and killed his squad leader. Francis was sentenced to 20 years in prison. 

Matt checks up with Meghan, there are 2 MP's waiting in her room as he walks by, they notice his slight limp and Meghan calls him in. They tell him he has a meeting with Lieutenant Colonel Fuch's office, he is escorted there.
