A note on notability edit
Although James J. Stanford held a comparatively minor rank as a noncommissioned officer, he is notable for other reasons listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Notability_guide#People as follows:
He played an important role in a significant military event (the Laotian Civil War);
He made a material contribution to military science that is indisputably attributed to him (a functional forward air control system to manage Operation Barrel Roll and Operation Steel Tiger).
