I'm looking for information about the 631 Tank Destroyer BN attached to or organic to the Third Army during WWII. Anyone know Sgt. Christain H. Hershey, Tank Commander?

[edit] cleanup

I think the article is well-written as it is, and unless someone truly has an issue with it, I removed the cleanup tag. Jmlk17 11:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Omissions

I don't know if they are skipped for brevity (and if so, should be retitled 'Notable Commanders' or something to that effect) but I noticed that John Yeosock wasn't listed, as he commanded 3rd Army in the first Gulf War. A complete list of commanders (and other info that is available under the FOIA and applicable DOD policy) is at http://www.arcent.army.mil/history/com_bios/index.asp - I'm not up on copyright/copyleft so I don't know about cutting and pasting the biographies of the missing staff if they warrant it, but the information is public domain so if the article needs more meat, that link is the deli.
