Medal of Honor citation

[edit]

I changed the wording of his Medal of Honor citation to what I am pretty sure is the correct one. Confusingly, his page on army.mil contains a button that pulls up the actual citation, but just above it has a section called "The Battle" which is a near-copy of the citation but with some extra details (but also a mistake - "As the squad moved through dense up a small hill..."). Until my edit, we were quoting this section as the actual citation. I'm not 100% sure I correctly interpreted what was going on here, but considering the new wording is also what appears at other sources, I'm pretty confident we have it right now. Very unfortunate and confusing formatting decision by army.mil...I hope we don't have similar issues on other Medal of Honor recipient pages as a result. -Elmer Clark (talk) 21:27, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
