For the record, I am not "vandalizing" the article. I made the same edits (not just the link removal) twice because the article was reverted to the original version complete with unnecessary capitalizations, misspellings, etc. that I felt needed correcting. I removed the link because I felt it was unnecessary, that is all, and I would like an apology for your accusation that I was racist.

A few points regarding your reversion of my edits:
For more tips, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Please don't blindly revert; I did not remove any links, I simply tidied them up. Also, reverting the same article more than three times in a 24 hour period is considered bad form. Thanks for your consideration. -- Hadal 04:33, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
This article was automatically assessed because at least one article was rated and this bot brought all the other ratings up to at least that level. BetacommandBot 00:03, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
The citation by the mayor nowhere cites that he used Wikipedia as a source, however the article is cited in such a way that it is implied. A proper citation for that sentence needs to be created. The citation by the mayor can be used to cite the citation, but isn't suitable for the sentence in which is it used. -- Daysleeper47 17:55, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
We must be careful that we don't get (subject) people in trouble with the law. This Soldier retired from active duty in 1971 and therefore was not on active duty in 1981, a requirement to receive the following two awards: Army Service Ribbon: Effective 1 August 1981, all members of the Active Army, Army National Guard, and U.S. Army Reserve in an active Reserve status are eligible for this award. The ribbon may be awarded retroactively to those personnel who completed the required training before 1 August 1981 provided they had an Active Army status as defined above on or after 1 August 1981.
Overseas Service Ribbon: For those Army service members performing overseas duty prior to 1981, the Army Overseas Service Ribbon may be awarded retroactively, provided that a service member was on active duty subsequent (later) to 1981.
The Stolen Valor Act of 2005 (the Act), signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 20, 2006,[1] is a U.S. law that broadens the provisions of previous U.S. law addressing the unauthorized wear, manufacture, sale or claim (either written or verbal) of any military decorations and medals. It is a federal misdemeanor offense, which carries a punishment of imprisonment for not more than 1 year and/or a fine. Meyerj ( talk) 17:12, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
The act does not cover lesser awards such as Unit Awards, Service and training awards and Marksmanship awards. In regard to the "Army Service Ribbon", Cartagena retired from "active" duty in 1971, but continued serve in the reserves. As a member of the reserves, he also qualified for the "Overseas Service Ribbon" as a combat veteran of World War II and the Korean War. Take care. Tony the Marine ( talk) 19:50, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
