Saint-Rémy

[edit]

I was unable to determine which Saint-Rémy Streett was stationed at, so I left the ambiguous link in place. Anybody? Binksternet (talk) 04:11, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Death date

[edit]

At the Arlington National Cemetery webpage for Streett, a photograph of his gravestone shows that it is marked with a September 28, 1970 death date. The Air Force collection of Streett papers agrees with this death date. However, there other authoritative websites that list a death date of October 1, 1970, including the Arlington page in text, making the Arlington page text conflict with its own photographic evidence. I have settled upon the September 28 death date because of the cemetery's memorial engraving and because of the official papers collection. Binksternet (talk) 21:58, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Date of interment listed at Arlington is October 1, 1970—this is most likely the source of confusion. Binksternet (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
