Untitled edit
folks, added the info graphic and pushed the POTUS/Byers thumb to the left. The info graphic is good for the story. 199.208.239.140 (talk) 12:17, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Purple Heart edit
For which conflict did he get his Purple Heart medals? Iraq, Afghanistan, or both? I'd like to know so I can add the WIA template next to the wars in the infobox. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 08:36, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
will? edit
and will graduate from Norwich University in Northfield, ? 2001:7C0:2041:1AA:0:0:0:DB (talk) 12:00, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- @2001:7C0:2041:1AA:0:0:0:DB: Yes, I noticed the future tense for an event of last year, and that is why a few weeks ago I marked it as needing an update. A reliable source can confirm the information (i.e. sometimes newspapers in the town of a university will list all the graduates and not just those who are local residents).

BSM w/ V Device edit
I noticed, looking at the history that someone with a user name, matching the subject of this article attempted to make multiple edits, one of which concerned the subject's Bronze Star Medals. I see that except for one case the individual did not cite any references. I see that the original source stated only two of the BSMs were awarded with a valor device, however I found two other sources which contradict that original source, and state that all 5 were with a valor device. Therefore, I hid the original source, and the wording it had verified. I am seeking more reliable sources to see which number is more often used.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 08:50, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Father edit
I know the ref says "father" served in WWII but this guy wasn't born til 34 years after the war ended. Maybe it was really his grandfather. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8805:5800:F500:34B3:8A8C:F18B:65A4 (talk) 02:46, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
Hannah, daughter edit
Hannah, the subject's daughter, is not presently notable herself per WP:FIGURE/N. Hannah competed at the US Figure Skating Championship, but finished 6th. She finished 4th in the South Atlantic Regional Championships. Additionally, she doesn't meet WP:GNG.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:07, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
MSM edit
A picture taken at his retirement ceremony shows him wearing a Meritorious Service Medal. Presumably he had just received it, as it isn't part of his rack. https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5766272/master-chief-special-warfare-operator-seal-edward-c-byers-jr-retirement-ceremony 216.255.165.198 (talk) 22:01, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
