Hi. I don't know if I'm doing this right and if this is going anywhere, but, if it is, please note that the sentence, "Sgt. John Sweet is a soft-spoken US Army sergeant serving in the UK in World War II..." clearly states that Sweet is still a US Army sergeant serving in the UK in World War II, WHICH HE IS NOT!!! It has nothing to do with him still being alive and still being soft-spoken. It has everything to do with telling people that he is still serving as a US Army sergeant in the UK and that World War II is still going on!!! Surely the fact that Sweet is soft-spoken can be placed somewhere else in the article. -- Unsigned comment by Walter Breitzke 02:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I think the easiest way would be to separate them into two sentences. I don't think it clearly states it one way or the other as it is at the moment. I read it as the "John Sweet was a soft-spoken ..." part implying that he was no longer soft-spoken or was no longer alive. I can assure you that he is still both soft-spoken and still alive. -- SteveCrook 16:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I think your latest version is much better. -- SteveCrook 16:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
