There is no mention that the current M1-Abrams tank is named for Creighton Abrams.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.150.135.72 (talk • contribs) 15:11, 10 July 2006.

That shouldn't be surprising. Creighton Abrams had nothing to do with the tank. That bit of information is already on the M1 Abrams article. --Scottie theNerd 15:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't have anything against the M1 Abrams, and I was considering relocating it at the beginning of the article, but decided to leave that to you. The tank itself is not directly relevant to Creighton Abrams, and plenty of past leaders have modern weapons or vehicles named after them without being mentioned. Nonetheless, I don't see any problem with the current location of the mention, although I have removed an M1 tank image in one of the past edits. I think we can agree with that. --Scottie theNerd 08:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death?

It says (Sep 15, 1914, Springfield, Massachusetts - Sep 4, 1974, Washington, D.C.) but that's his service record. When did he die? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pvt. Green (talk • contribs) 16:51, 1 April 2007 (UTC).
