Untitled[edit]

A lot of material was added in June, and it looks all good except for one important detail. It's completely unsourced, sources need to be provided for this information.--M4bwav 16:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PhD Dissertation[edit]

It's not definite, but apparently Dr. Atwater's doctoral paper was United States Army and Navy Development of Joint Landing Operations, 1898-1942. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.223.175.28 (talk) 15:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thyroid[edit]

I heard that he was so fat because his thyroid gland got shot, I need a source though.--Conor Fallon (talk) 00:35, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I met him back in January. He's a little smaller now. A very nice man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.226.95.18 (talk) 16:40, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jan 2013 rework[edit]

I've attempted to rework the article a bit to get above stub status. Added two pics, infobox, and some additional info. Wish there was more to add, and better refs for what is there, but after two days--off and on-- "data mining" multiple search engines there really just isn't that much info available floating around. I'd like to know more about his early life pre-Berea College, his family, and considerably more about his Viet Nam service i.e. where did he earn his purple heart and commendations. I wonder if he's ever witten an autobiograpy or something. Anyone that can help fil in the holes and expand the article more would be greatly appreciated!
