It seems to me that the sort function on the tables does not work with the colspan/rowspan function. Since each entry would have to be changed to get them workingm it would be a quite a bit of editing to fix all of them. I will get around to it eventually if nobody does, but I'm posting this in case somebody chooses to beat me to it. bahamut0013♠♣ 20:45, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree and I will help you work on it.--Kumioko (talk) 23:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rlevse, are you looking for a citation on Lucas' age, or disputing the fact? You suggest Audie Murphy as a case-in-point disputing Lucas' status as youngest recipient, but Murphy was 19 at the time of the action for which he was awarded the medal (born 1926, date of action 1945). Lucas' status as youngest Marine to receive this award is widely noted, such as (http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/pers-us/uspers-l/j-lucas.htm), and we can note/cite the relative youth too. - Thaimoss (talk) 14:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
