Is it worth including commentary on the controversy over his MoH? Examples are cited here:

I don't want to add a section and have it taken out if it is breaking the rules, so I wanted additional opinions. There is controversy about this and I'm not taking sides about the merits of said controversy.

Does anybody have a lead on a reliable source for the citation that goes with this medal? All I could find is this
SYNOPSIS - (Citation Needed): The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy and Marine Corps Medal to Senior Chief Information Systems Technician (SEAL) Britt Kelly Slabinski, United States Navy, for heroism at the risk of life not involving conflict with an armed enemy. Senior Chief Petty Officer Slabinski's courageous, competent, and efficient actions and forceful leadership in directing the rescue effort, and in particular, in effecting the rescue of an elderly man trapped within the sinking dredge, at great risk to his own life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
This website is usually great for finding citations, but it even admits it doesn't have the source and also it is written in a very vague way that is virtually unheard of for modern citations. Thornfield Hall ( talk) 09:20, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
