Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The current Society recipient index confirms the live profile identity and action year/place, but repeated rendered-page retrieval timed out. The official Army citation index independently confirms rank, unit, exact date, place, and citation; the evidence snapshot explicitly records this fallback rather than treating the URL or HTTP behavior as verification.
