Help me on Citing Personal Experience--I was there!
I made a minor edit to the article on the Cambodian campaign, entering the precise unit that entered the cache site, "The City." Wikipedia wants a reference, and I am not sure how to cite my own experience. I was another company commander in the 1st Bn/5th Cavalry, and everyone in our unit knew it was our C "Charlie" Company, under the command of Captain Kevin Corcoran, that entered the cache site. Please help me with...
