[edit] Biography

The sentence "It can be argued that Howard is the most highly decorated soldier in U.S. military history," doesn't seem accurate. It's hard to find definitive records about individual soldiers' military decorations, but Douglas MacArthur is probably the most highly decorated U.S. soldier ever. Of all the Vietnam veterans, Col Bud Day certainly has more decorations than Col Howard, although one may argue that he is not exactly a soldier but an airman. Perhaps this sentence could be rewritten or deleted? Hildenja 21:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
