The article lists "Vietnam War" but the article itself says he was a reservist Maybe the article was trying to suggest it was the Vietnam Era, but clarity would help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-76449-8 (talk) 01:38, 2 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

There is no record, I could find, of Samuel Alito receiving the Order if Merit of the Italian Republic in 2017 or any other year. Please verify or delete the awards entry on Alito's profile. 167.160.82.50 (talk) 14:19, 2 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Update Photo

The primary photo of Justice Alito in this article is his official portrait from 2007, which is almost 20 years old at this point. It would be an improvement if a more recent photo were used. Wiltfan123 (talk) 17:43, 12 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Do you know of an image that we can use? - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:18, 12 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure of all the hoops that must be jumped through to upload a picture on Wikipedia, but I would assume official photos of the Supreme Court would fall within the public domain and could be used. Wiltfan123 (talk) 21:04, 12 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
