Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The inherited rank-1 URL did not yield the current canonical profile. The inherited rank-2 Society candidate was confirmed by matching identity, service, unit, action date, place, and citation; every candidate remains preserved in the audit trail. The current authoritative source expands, corrects, or normalizes the inherited name from John S. Shellenberger to John Shellenberger; both renderings remain preserved. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved.
