Alatsata
On Alatsata as Greece or Turkey somehow a prior editor seems to have changed this from all the common bios of Dilboy as well as from the evident history of the region.
Dilboy's place of birth, Alatsata itself, as well as the city it was near Smyrna (in Greek) or Izmir (in Turkish), was not part of Greece at the time (or anywhere near the time) of Dilboy's birth.
From the point of view of language, religion and ethnic identity Dilboy was an ethnic Greek. He later most likely became a de jure Greek citizen though his service in the Greek Army. So I am not trying to take away his Greek and Greek American identity. But he was certainly born an Ottoman subject/citizen, in Ottoman Turkey, not in Greece. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.252.94.206 (talk) 18:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Medal of Honor
I took out "Congressional". As the Wikipedia entry for Medal of Honor says, "[i]t is often colloquially referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor." It is inappropriate to use a colloquial term in an encyclopedia.
