Yes, that Thomas Edison. He received the Navy DSM for "exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service in a position of great responsibility as president of the Naval Consulting Board" during World War I. 209.125.254.11 (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Omar Bradley

Distinguished Service Medal (United States Navy) → Navy Distinguished Service Medal – The move makes sense from a WP:COMMONNAME standpoint and follows the naming convention of Air Force Distinguished Service Medal and the actual usage of the name on Wikipedia. The current name is used 216 times while the requested name is used more than 500 times. EricSerge (talk) 15:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 19:21, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
