Here are some points to consider for improvement:

Coverage is pretty light. Some questions that came to mind:
- Why was he awarded the Legion of Merit and the Vietnam Gallantry Cross?
- How many missions did he fly? How many air battle was he in? Did he shoot down any enemy aircraft during the Vientnam War?
- What sort of aircraft did he fly?
- Did the units he commanded perform in any examplary manner?
References: Also light, but I suspect in answering the above questions, the references will be expanded by necessity.
Supporting Materials: An infobox is acceptable, but a photo would be great.
