[edit] Good Article Nomination Good evening (GMT time); I have reviewed this article on 20:13, Thursday June 12, 2008 (UTC) in accordance with the Good Article (GA) criteria. There are seven main criteria that the article must comply with to pass: Well-written: Pass Factually accurate: Pass Broad: Pass Neutrally written: Pass Stable: Pass Well-referenced: Pass Images: Pass I have concluded that, in my opinion, the article has passed all categories and I therefore award it GA status. However, I would recommend the use of inline citations in the article: the GA criteria highly recommends this format of citing sources. Otherwise, congratulations to the lead editors, and keep up the good work! Kind regards, anthonycfc [talk] 21:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I added the citation for March's DSC and links to sources for both the DSC and Navy Cross citations. I also clarified (I hope) the timeline of these awards: the Navy Cross was created after World War I, and the Navy then honored its many Marine and Navy heroes of the war, included those previously honored by the Army. I also noted parenthetically, given the name on the citation, that his birthname was still used at the time. However, the author of the article should probably clarify somewhere in the article when March began using his pen name, rather than leaving that in the trivia section.207.38.168.98 21:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
