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 early 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 article still says he is one of only 4 Medal of Honor recipients still on active duty, and so does the one for SGM Williams, but I am trying to get this detailed out so the most legalistic editor, 'fairy' or whatever cannot argue the point. Any information on how to clarify this would be greatly appreciated. AC9016 (talk) 02:21, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
