[edit] Closing sentece

The closing sentence of this article is misleading. Commisioned officers of the U.S. Public Health Service do wear military style uniforms. They are almost exactly the same as the uniforms that commisioned officers of the U.S. Navy wear, and PHS officers hold the same ranks as naval officers (e.g. Ensign, Lieutenant, Captain, Admiral, etc).

[edit] Legion of Honor

A sentece states: sheatebbvjhgion of Merit Medal by the United States Secretary of State Colin Powell, which is rarely presented to civilians.", but after been Surgeon General doesn't she retains her rank as Vice Admiral. Many years ago she went to my highschool in Puerto Rico and I remember her saying she still had her rank. Can anyone shed any light into this? From what I read the medal can only be given to military personnel, so she was given the medal because she is part of the military. Cjrs 79 03:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
