message: According to a source I read, he was the last Medal of Honor recipient to serve with the Armed Forces after earning the Medal of Honor. Is this confirmable, and should it be included? Orville Eastland (talk) 23:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for the info, but Colonel Roberts did leave the army for a time and reenlist later, according to the article. I do appreciate the help- I didn't know that before!Orville Eastland (talk) 01:03, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The entry on Michael Thornton contains the following statement:"For these actions, Thornton was awarded the Medal of Honor. The medal was formally presented to him by President Richard Nixon during a ceremony at the White House on October 15, 1973. The man Thornton rescued, Thomas Norris, survived his wounds and was awarded the Medal of Honor during the same ceremony for his April 1972 rescue of LtCol Iceal Hambleton and 1stLt Mark Clark from behind enemy lines."  So according to this entry, Thomas Norris was awarded the Medal of Honor in October of 1973.  However the Wikipedia entry for Thomas Norris states the following:"Norris received the Medal of Honor from President Gerald R. Ford in a White House ceremony on March 6, 1976."   Either Norris received his Medal of Honor from Richard Nixon in 1973 or from Gerald Ford in 1976.  Obviously one of the entries has to be wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.154.28 (talk) 02:18, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Either this entry or the Norris entry is wrong.  

message: Not meaning to nitpick, but how did Lieutenant Thornton earn a National Defense Service Medal with two bronze service stars?  He should have one star on the award for serving in Vietnam (the original medal) and during the Gulf War (one service star).
The only other two times the NDSM was awarded was for Korea and the War on Terrorism - which he was too young for the former and had retired well before the latter.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.208.149.67 (talk) 02:51, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
