Active-duty Medal of Honor recipients
According to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and the U.S. Army Center of Military History websites, there are 65 living Medal of Honor recipients as of September 2023. Of those, only 4 are listed by those sources and on Wikipedia as being still on active duty: Lieutenant Colonel William D. Swenson, Sergeant Major Thomas Payne, Sergeant Major Matthew O. Williams, and Master Sergeant Earl Plumlee. I can find sources affirming each of these four individuals are still in the active-duty U.S. Army today. I cannot find any source explicitly stating that only these four are still in. This is not something that would just get missed; Medal of Honor recipients still in the military are celebrities, living legends, whether they like it or not. LTC Swenson's and SGM Williams' articles still say they are each 1 of only 4 Medal of Honor recipients still on active duty, but the source referenced does not actually say that explicitly. Does anyone have more information on this? Any idea on what to do about it? The mention that Swenson is one of four on active duty is being allowed to stand on his page, but I got blocked from mentioning that same thing on SGM Payne's page. Any information on how to clarify this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance to anyone who may chime on on this topic. AC9016 (talk) 02:20, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
