Information verified by reliable sources. Article not totally bloated; amount of information is just right. All hooks sourced well, and I have no preference of these hooks. However, I would rather replace ALT1 with the below suggestion:
- ALT1a:... that despite being injured during World War II, Ed McCaskey refused to be given the Purple Heart but accepted the Bronze Star Medal and a combat infantry badge?
