• Why it should be changed:

This additional information more completely summarizes and clarifies the Career, Personal Life, and Awards of Edward Trobaugh. My conflict of interest is I am a surviving son, Jeff Trobaugh. While my effort is to pay tribute to my father, my factual references are taken from DD Form 214. I am not disputing or seeking to change any previously, cited information on this page.

Unless you have WP:RS that supports all of that it can't be included. Mztourist (talk) 03:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Is the DD form 214 not a reliable source? It's a document of public record. JaysonDT (talk) 22:41, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

You would need to upload it. Mztourist (talk) 04:09, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
