- I would like to point out that Smith's family received the first ever Medal of Honor flag today when President Bush awarded the Medal of Honor to his family. Zscout370 00:53, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

Hey yall, I found a photo we can use on the article: http://www4.army.mil/OCPA/uploads/large/OCPA-2005-03-29-152933.jpg

A whole group of images from the Army can be found at http://www4.army.mil/armyimages/index.php?range=all&search=paulmith&pageNum_Images=1&totalRows_rsArmyImages=35&search=paul+smith&btn=Search+Army+Images&range=all. Zscout370 (talk) 21:24, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This article is great and well merited. Why does it's formatting differ? There seems to be a lot of HTML code which changes the appearance, and it looks awful on my browser.Manning 04:58, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Quote Source

I added a quote from Smith, and other material, based on "this source", which I also added to the external links. - Bert 171.159.64.10 00:47, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

What is meant by allegiance? The oath is to the uS Constitution not the Army. Maybe, instead of allegiance, it should be "Military Branch." Use Country to identify, well, the uS.

[edit] Not most recent?

The medal of honor page indicates that there has been a more recent awarding of the medal..

You're right, a Korean War veteran (Tibor Rubin) belatedly received the Medal in 2005. Smith's is still the most recent Medal of Honor action, though. I have updated the article to reflect that. Jwillbur 17:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bronze or Silver Star?

The link about the simulation centre named in his honour mentions that he was awarded the Silver Star posthumously and was nominated for the Medal of Honor. Can someone check if the Bronze Star mentioned in this article is actually Silver? I'm not an expert, it just seems like as a direct combat award it would be the one he would have gotten prior to the Medal of Honor. 142.177.126.249 17:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
