- Those are good bit's to add, also perhaps:
- should the Daishozen-Ji bell be mentioned, or is that more suited for the 6th Marine Division or VMI pages? NY times article amongst others
- His role in the more prominent recognition of the Marine Corps Birthday throughout the Corps?

Bronze Plaque with Diploma Commemorative Especial[edit]
Why was this linked to the Order of the Southern Cross and the ribbon for the highest grade of that used for this? I haven't been able to find any connection between any Special Commemorative Diploma and the Order of the Southern Cross. I've de-linked it and replaced the ribbon with the "no ribbon" graphic.
Ideally this should be moved out of the ribbon display (as it's a diploma & plaque, not a ribbon award) but I'm not sure I have the wikipedia formatting confidence to do so. Perhaps move it to a section after the box's with other recognitions? It could be listed thusly alongside his commendatory letter from the Joint Chiefs of Staff (dated 15 Sept. 1959).
