[edit] Relation to author Sally Bedell Smith?

I noticed there is a rather prolific biography writer [1] named Sally Bedell Smith. Does anyone know if she is related (granddaughter?) to Walter Bedell Smith? If so, and if we have a good reference, it should be part of the article. --rogerd 14:40, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Walter Bedell Smith had no children —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93Stroud (talk • contribs) 17:08, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why is there a set of links to Medal of Honor recipients, when he was not one?

My question is done more out of ignorance than anything. I cannot find anything saying he was a recipient, but I may not have searched enough. Perhaps he was the son of a recipient. My question stands for the moment. UEL 03:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I did not see the Medal of Honor link. He received other medals listed in the article. He gave the brief introduction in the movie "To Hell and Back," about and starring Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93Stroud (talk • contribs) 17:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Born and raised where?

The article doesn't say. - Jmabel | Talk 19:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
