editPage was re-written and updated to link the reference. Information pasted from the Air Force Web was removed and re-written. Thank you for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kperson4GC (talk • contribs) 18:59, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because the biography is for a public official of the United States Department of the Air Force and is accessible on a public website managed by the United States Department of the Air Force.

- @Amortias: For future reference, the original bio (like all works of the U.S. Federal government) is {{PD-USGov}}. See Copyright law of the United States of America#Works by the federal government for details. The original bio was unencyclopedic but not a copyright violation. —teb728 t c 21:38, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
