Awards

Hi @Kges1901:. I want to discuss about this. Well, I couldnt find reference in the awards section. The 18th reference is just a google search link and the 17th reference also doesnt provide any data. I might be wrong, thus discussing. ❯❯❯ S A H A 20:04, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life

I overheard on German public radio that General Hodges currently lives in Frankfurt, Germany and is married to a German woman. Any sources and relevance? Also I saw he makes a lot of appearances on German news channels lately, mostly public television "Deutsche Welle" e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBhm5-y9h38 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crass Spektakel (talk • contribs) 21:20, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mistaken link

In the section "Later Life", there's a mention of the Black Sea region Hodges has been advocating for. In life, this means he has been talking about the countries surrounding the Black Sea, yet the link under "Black Sea Region" as of this writing links to a lemma on the Turkish north-coast. So I will change this momentarily to a link to the Black Sea itself, as that is what the text actually pertains to. ~~ 77.248.5.151 (talk) 06:58, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Retired

I just had the most wonderful conversation with General Hodges via messenger through Facebook. Except that it wasn’t really him and he was asking me for money.LOL 2001:569:5574:7B00:B57E:378C:C97C:6355 (talk) 23:22, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scam

I also met a Brigadier General Hodges on Facebook. He was a scammer just asking for money. I didn't know it at the time. He went by Derrick Hodges. Widower with a young son. I wish something could be done to stop this person before someone else gets scammed. To the real General Hodges, thank you for your service@ 2600:1700:D3D0:28C0:F079:115D:2B4F:FD03 (talk) 13:15, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
