Paul G. Myatt
editWhat happened to the reference of Paul G. Myatt? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.254.124.20 (talk) 02:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- Private First Class Paul G. Myatt was removed from the introduction because this article is about Benito Martinez; while Paul Myatt was instrumental in the events that day, his part in the story was lost along with his records for more than 30 years. He was eventually tracked down, interviewed, and awarded the silver star for his actions in that conflict.
Note: "Their actions enabled their company to take back the terrain which they had lost"'
The first source which is about a "George Langdale" clearly states:
"Myatt was knocked unconscious and dragged off. We couldn't find his body when we recaptured the position. We rationalized that he'd been evaporated with all the mortar and artillery fire. But 46 years later we found him."
Athens Banner Herald. The other source; [2] is state proclamation which congratulates him.
Thank you for asking, Tony the Marine (talk) 02:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Note:
