Undid revision 1296299084 by Rob9980 (talk) Reverted, again, the reason why I removed the image because it is redundant. Take a look at William Rehnquist, Dan Caine, Omar Bradley, etc. They don't have any flags for their allegiance, rank, etc. Don't add any images//flags to their military service. |
