Two Dental Awards Winners[edit]

So who was the other Dentist that won a Medal of Honor?--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 08:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The snippet view of the Dentist reference only looks lets you see half of the text but it looks like, Wesley Osborne. Also google pulled this, "1 Doctor Osborne was born in Chicago on November 13, 1892" -- Esemono (talk) 13:12, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was Weedon Osborne. Since that reference was published, a third dentist had been awarded the medal, Ben L. Salomon. — jwillbur 23:36, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
