Talk:Authorized foreign decorations of the United States military

message: Shouldn't Soviet/Russian decorations be here, too? No doubt some Americans were awarded these during WWII. Specifically, the page on the Order of Victory says it was awarded to Dwight Eisenhower. Anyone know anything about it? --apoivre 12:51, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I know, Soviet awards were only made rarely to very senior U.S. officers and they were never authorized for wear on U.S. uniforms. -Husnock 13:42, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Soviet Medals

message: For the record, this page appears to be some kind of revamped version of an older page.  The template Template:US-ForeignDecorations was designed for the original article which is now gone.  This page appears to be an expansion/copy of the old one.  I'm curious what exactly happened to the older version which was written be me and others years ago.  Does anyone know? -OberRanks (talk) 21:36, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: About your question, how about we team up and make it a little of both??? I really hated the old look, it just really didn't look professional. This way it's more easier, in my personal opinion. Looking for an award by the country then by the war, would make more sense since some have been awarded several wars. I think a lot of people like the newer look, since you have been the first person to mention it. But what if we add right next the more older and less "active" awards, the date it was first and last awarded to American personnel. Kind of like I noted with the Soviet Union & Chinese awards. --EHDI5YS (talk) 22:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Making dozens of small edits (especially when changing a single word) when they could be accomplished in a single larger edit is also preferred on this site.

thread_title: Further recommendations

message: The SACEUR stands for the Supreme Allied Commander, but the Supreme Allied Commander's page dose not go much more in depth other then the first and current person to hold the position. So instead I used the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe page, because it has a list of every person who has ever held the title. --EHDI5YS (talk) 15:18, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I added a whole new set of medals, this time they are from South American countries. All of them were awarded to former United States Southern Command Commander General Robert H. Foglesong. --EHDI5YS (talk) 19:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Can who ever keeps changing the Uruguay Aeronautical Merit Medal section to saying it was awarded to General Robert H. Foglesong when he was the United States European Command Commander is totally wrong,  General Robert H. Foglesong was awarded the medal for his duties during the dates of September 1999 - August 2000. When he was the Commander of the 12th Air Force and United States Southern Command Air Forces Commander at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz. So please stop changing it! --EHDI5YS (talk) 15:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

message: As of now the ribbon that I updated is the only match on General Petraeus new ribbon rack. I looked on his personnel United States Central Command page for any update for new awards, there has been no update. The other ribbons on his rack can easily be matched to other Foreign military decorations. --EHDI5YS (talk) 15:45, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

message: To the best of my knowledge, no US Servicemember has been awarded the GC, as eligibility is restricted to Commonwealth Citizens only. At least two servicemembers have been awarded the George Medal (A2C Reis Leming, USAF and  SSG Freeman A. Kilpatrick, USAF).
In addition, would it be possible to compile a list of foreign decorations that have been awarded to US servicemembers? (I know at least two may have earned Canadian Bravery Decorations). Orville Eastland (talk) 01:43, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
