Medal of Honor

I don't think the the Medal of Honor should be displayed as a ribbon down the list, it should be displayed as a medal at the top. Wgfcrafty (talk) 19:09, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Current rank

Are there any reliable sources verifying that the subject has been promoted to major, or is now the only active duty MoH recipient?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:48, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BURDEN, I have reverted to the captain rank. Please do not change until a reliable source can be found that verifies promotion.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:59, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rangers?

Swenson is categorized as an Army Ranger, but as far as I see, he never served in the Rangers. He did go through Ranger School, but that alone doesn't qualify one as a Ranger, right?
