Walter Schirra graduated from the United States Naval Academy. Someone needs to clean up this article and make it factually accurate.
- Whoever left this anonymous comment could have done that. I got the current information from his website. Holford 23:58, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
I removed reference to his son's criminal conviction as not germaine to the article, especially with the unsubstantiated comment that he got no jail time due to his father's influence. Holford 20:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Son's child porn conviction
In 2005, his son Walter Schirra III plead guilty in a fedral child sex tourism case. He was not given a prison sentence due to his father's influence.
Please stop removing this information-it is well sourced here- http://space.about.com/od/nasanewscurrentevents/a/shirraguilty.htm Tommypowell 15:16, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- It is also irrelevant. The sins of the son are not visited upon the father, and there is absolutely no evidence to suggest his father's influence had anything to do with the lack of prison time. FCYTravis 21:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
