One extra bit of trivia is that Mitchell Paige before his enlistment had completed all the requirements to become an Eagle Scout. but left for boot camp before a ceremony could be scheduled. In the year before he died a friend interceded and he finally got his award at the age of 84. To date the oldest person ever to acquire the Eagle Scout medal and badge.
