[edit] balance
i understand this is almost still a stub, and i'm glad somebody put it together, but right now it seems that the guadalcanal controversy, a semi-meaningless blip (IMO), overshadows his accomplishments. would anybody mind if we put that on a back burner, or minimized it somehow until more text is added to offset that subject?

- here's the material i removed for now: "Denver Pyle would claim in later life that he was a Navy veteran, who had been wounded in action at Guadalcanal, however the National Personnel Records Center stated in 1991 that there was no evidence that Denver Pyle had ever served on active duty in the United States Navy. Denver Pyle’s statements were not resolved prior to his death, and his exact status of military service remains unclear to this day." SaltyPig 04:10, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- I have been away from this article for awhile and was sad to see that now the picture is gone and the above info was removed. The info about his military career should be restored. It is verified from NPRC and should be in the article. -Husnock 05:54, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
