a lot of weaselly words. i did edits, but i'm not sure if message boards are the best source of material. plus, from BoB, the cow incident took place in England, not at Camp Toccoa --71.112.183.85 07:52, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Almost-adopted child

If anyone has any information on the child Luz "nearly adopted" during the War, could you please post it here or add it to the article yourself? I've been told it's really touching, and would be a testament to Georgey's character. --Martorius 06:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tone

I've noticed that many articles concerning members of Easy Company 506th during WWII is written in a tone as if a fan of the movie Band of Brothers wrote it. There is too much superfluous congratulatory remarks in the bios and need to be change to a neutral point of view. --† Ðy§ep§ion † ^{Speak your mind} 07:50, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Quite so. However, considering the fellow's personal service to his country and his fellows, would it be such a sad thing that what encyclopedia readers 100 years hence discover about this not important but now illuminated man was that he was able to make fun of himself and his fellows? I hope history renders me so worthy a judgement. I'll take a whack at copy-editing this. BusterD 03:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction?

The list of awards in the article says Mr. Luz received includes the purple heart. Yet further down the in the article it says he was the only soldier in Easy Company to be unhurt in the war. It is my understanding that purple hearts are given to soldiers wounded in battle. Can anyone shed some light on this? Deyyaz ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 13:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
