Awards and Decorations[edit]

I'm confused by the current text. Are his awards as he claimed, or not? Derrick Chapman —Preceding unsigned comment added by Derrickchapman (talk • contribs) 20:36, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The second Marine Times article clarifies -- he did not receive the awards. The article is changed to reflect the article.--S. Rich (talk) 23:58, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday[edit]

IMDb lists his birth date as October 29, 1925, not 1928. This would have made him 82 at the time of his death. Mzimmerle (talk) 05:44, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
