"Only seven other individuals have been so honored since 1978." this seems to contradict the recipients list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 0x2fwhc ( talk • contribs) 02:50, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
When discussing the origins for the US Order of the Sword i think they have got it all wrong in regards to King Gustavus I of Sweden. In 1523 16 men from the Dalarna province of Sweden were designated personal guards of the king, thus creating the worlds oldest regiment still in operation, the Svea Life Guards. The royal Swedish "Order of the Sword" was created in 1748. Perhaps this creation of ordinary men into "life guards" could be seen as important?? User:Mkallgren 4 August 2010 21.18 (CEST)

Rumored ? what's rumored about it? you may not agree with the history behind the award but the current award is real and has been awareded to several people. Rumored, what kind of hack editing is that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.79.206.190 ( talk • contribs) 06:50, 11 June 2006
Look at the link for Lt Gen James. verifiable reference is there. Note that in the current verison it says "patterned after", not a decendent of... symantics maybe but the difference is HUGE. :-)

Just came in on this conversation. I was looking up a General who had the Order of the Sword Ceremony bestowed on him. Looking on google and found this. Noticed he wasn't listed on their info page. I know he received it because I helped host it in 1984. General Robert T. Marsh. It was very elaborate and well worth it. As a matter of fact, I had never heard of one even though I had been in the military for several years. Many others knew nothing of it also. It was a great 3 days off for me in Flordia and I'll never forget the great opportunity this allowed me. How I met him and how he remembered me was the funniest thing that ever happened to me in the military. Still, having problems finding updated info on him.
