A nice start. Just needs some expansion of the introduction, expansion of the main text, and reformatting of the citations. Take a look at John Basilone for an example of a slightly more attractive way to present the citations. LordAmeth 00:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It has come to my attention that the quote on this page;

“I am an ordinary citizen who answered my country’s call to duty and performed that duty to the very best of my ability. I pray that so naming this park will serve to instill in the minds of generations to come the idea that the liberty we enjoy must be ever so carefully guarded and when they are called upon to defend those liberties, they do so willingly, as I and so many others already have, in order that this nation, as we know it, shall not perish”.

Is not correct and that the references used are incorrect as well.--Amadscientist (talk) 03:23, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A quick google search only shows these two references using this quote. As I understand it, this is a misquote stemming from the PBS article.--Amadscientist (talk) 03:29, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
