Birth Year

[edit]

This article previously stated he was born in 1934, it’s proven to be 1935. Reportedly, he was 45 at the time he was shot and was 80 at the time of Hinckley’s release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.227.160.181 (talk) 17:51, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Our article states that Tom made a full recovery, but it also states that he later retired on full disability pension. That needs some kind of explanation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FriendlyRiverOtter (talkcontribs) 19:30, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

who is the guy on the far left?

[edit]

do we know the name of the guy on the far left who is wearing a light blue jacket? Same question, for the soldier who apparently is from the 1ST Cav division. For the sake of history, these people need names. CorvetteZ51 (talk) 09:19, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
