Ancestry
His name (Masry) sounds like the Arabic word for "Egyptian." Can anyone confirm? 69.221.94.18 01:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I had exactly the same thought when I saw the movie. I noticed (in the NYT obit) that his parents had a silk importing business in New Jersey in the earlier part of the twentieth century. I think something like half the Egyptians in the US live in New Jersey...I bet they were Egyptians, but I can't seem to find any confirmation anywhere. jackbrown

Query party affiliation
suggests a republican affiliation, but lists many Democrat donations. MikeHobday (talk) 08:00, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Korean War service
Although Masry served in the Army during the Korean War era, there are no reliable sources found as of yet state that he was in a war zone during the war. More specifically, the sources do not establish defining role in the Korean War. Accordingly, "Category:United States army personnel of the Korean War" was removed until a defining role is established. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 09:37, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
