Jeff Broadwater redlink

Would that happen to be Jeffery Broadwater? I'm not well-versed in the military's bureaucracy, but he and Larson are both armymen, so it'd make sense they'd interact. Roast (talk) 17:44, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disconnect?

The entry states that Mr. Larson was a member of the 34th Infantry Division, and that he was involved in the Omaha landing and the Battle of the Bulge. Yet Wikipedia's entry on the 34th Division states that it saw brutal action in North Africa and Italy but makes no mention of participating in the Omaha landing or the Battle of the Bulge. So I'm respectfully wondering if there's a disconnect somewhere. CBL740 (talk) 20:47, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
