Spanish article

from es:Ellison Onizuka

support:

The Spanish article is much longer and contains more information than the English article. -- J3ff 00:42, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Status: I'll work on this one. I have a question, though: do I just remove this item from the list after I'm done translating? RandyUang 8 July 2005 08:03 (UTC)

You can add it to the list of recently completed translations at the bottom of this page after you are done.--Fenice 8 July 2005 08:20 (UTC)

Error

The US military say "flight test", not "test flight." This should be changed.

Added promotion to Colonel

I added a sentence to show that he was posthumously promoted to Colonel.

Purple Heart verification?

Checked the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor and could not find Ellison Onizuka listed. Can the awarding of the Purple Heart to him for the Challenger accident be verified? The Purple Heart is reserved for injuries or death caused by enemy action in a declared combat zone or by special decision such as those injured during the 9/11 attacks (Pentagon was not a combat zone until it was attacked). Seems strange that Col. Onizuka would have received the Purple Heart for his death aboard Challenger. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dteska (talk • contribs) 16:35, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
