My Mom told me about a Hollywood chap in a USMC uniform down in Cherry Point NC where I was born (the month before D-Day, I missed the invasion of Normandy but not the end of the war). I can't remember whether it was Joseph Cotton, Tyrone Power, or who. Probably Tyrone Power. Funny that John Wayne and Henry Fonda are not on the list. They both played a lot of military roles on screen.

paret, That is one of the finest posts I have ever read. The public forgets too easily about the heroes of our nation, and these men were truly worthy of adoration. I was fortunate to be able to go to the premier of "To Hell And Back", the story of Audie Murphy, at the Metropolitan theater in Houston, TX. To see those medals displayed, under glass, was an awesome sight, especially when one considers that Audie Murphy was way under age when he finagled his way into the army, and gave everything he had on the battle field. He was to be given a free ride into West Point to get a degree, and move farther up in the Army echelons, but his wound prevented that. The, so called, male stars of Hollywood today, are a bunch of immature, snot nosed, simpering, puling, mindless pricks.
