Vietnam service[edit]

There are conflicting sources of information about whether or not Willie York actually served in Vietnam. Several newspaper articles state that he was a Vietnam veteran, but a biography on the Facebook page that is dedicated to him says that he did not, in fact, serve in-country in Vietnam, but was actually stationed in Panama during his military service, training to go to Vietnam. I am trying to find additional sources that can back up either claim. Strikerforce^Talk 19:07, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Although York served in the army during the Vietnam War era, no reliable sources found as of yet state that he served in Vietnam. Accordingly, Category:American military personnel of the Vietnam War was removed from the article. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:58, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
