Pretty standard bio info, folks; where is it? Can we at least get his D.O.B. so we know his age? Next would be birthplace. Third would be a nice paragraph or two on where he grew up, high school, any sports or academics in his youth, if he did ROTC, that sort of thing. Just saw him on CNN (Don Lemon interview) and they said he's served 38 years. So I'm guessing he's at least 60. Any clarification? Thanks.

A basic tenet of Wikipedia is that all content must be verifiable. This means, among other things, that for the subject of an article to have a list of military awards those awards must be supported by inline citations. In addition, a long list of military awards appears to be trivia -- Wikipedia is not a database or indiscriminate collection of information. In general content should only be included if it has been covered by independent reliable sources. -- Dr. Fleischman ( talk) 17:40, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
William E. Ward. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

On 8 March 2011, disgraced general Ward retired and was succeeded as commander of US Africa Command by General Carter F. Ham. In November 2012, Ward was demoted to three-star general (Lieutenant General) and ordered to pay restitution for using public funds for private travel.
General Ward served his country nobly both in Somalia and in Bosnia. He was well-loved by his soldiers and officers.
