[edit]

On November 7, 2008, the Department of the Army announced that the Silver Star awarded to Versace was revoked. I think it is a mistake. K.R.Youmans —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.218.54.125 (talk) 05:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know why the Silver Star was revoked? Is it because he received the MoH? Pr4ever (talk) 07:13, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't know, but this is only thing that the Department of the Army had to say:

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY WASHINGTON, DC, 29 December 2009

IV—SILVER STAR-REVOKE. So much of Department of the Army General Orders, No. 31, Headquarters, Department of the Army, Washington, D.C., dated 1 July 1971, pertaining to the award of the Silver Star to Captain Humbert R.
