Missing information?

It seems that quite a bit of information is missing from this article. Immediately obvious is that there is no date (or even year) of birth listed; one could surmise 1948-1949 based on the statement that he was 17 in 1965 when he enlisted. It also doesn't mention when he was promoted to Major General. Also, there seem to be far more awards on his uniform than are described in the article. And does anyone have any information on what types of vehicles he flew? The article doesn't even get specific enough to tell us if he was flying fixed or rotary wing aircraft... 74.79.62.75 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:42, 11 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]

He is not a pilot or a rated officer. Most of his officer career he worked in finance and accounting. --rogerd (talk) 19:41, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Another possible reference

I just saw this. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123285758 I am putting it here as bookmark so that someone (maybe me) might add some info to the article from it. --rogerd (talk) 19:52, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
