Re the words “'Bassett went to Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, to attend Squadron Officer School.' Don't think the comma after Alabama is needed here.", above: Parentheses opened must be closed. Such constructions as "Dallas, Texas is a big city" and "December 7, 1941 was an important day" are faulty. In each, the first comma opens a parenthesis: without another comma, there is no mark to show where the parenthesis ends. It's obvious if you use other punctuation to mark the parenthesis: you would never write "Dallas (Texas is a big city" and "December 7 (1941 was an important day", but you would write "Dallas (Texas) is a big city" and "December 7 (1941) was an important day".
