Melvin Laird

Oddly today's obituary for former Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird said he served on the Maddox in WWII "in the Pacific" and was awarded a Purple Heart. I will check tomorrow for a correction. Were there two ships named Maddox? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 05:43, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Answering my own question, yes there were two, at least. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 09:45, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
