Got this in an e-mail and is kinda interesting.



The Entertainers of 2003 have been in all of the news media lately. It
seems News Paper, Television and Radio has been more than ready to put them
and their message before the public.

I would like to remind the people of  what the entertainers of 1943
Were doing, (60 years ago). Most of these brave men have since passed on.

Alec Guinness (Star Wars) operated a British Royal Navy landing craft
On D.A..

James Doohan ("Scotty" on Star Trek) landed in Normandy with the U.S.
Army on D-Day.

Donald Pleasance (The Great Escape) really was a R.A.F. pilot who was
Shot down, held prisoner and tortured by the Germans.

David Niven was a Sandhurst graduate and Lt. Colonel of the British
Commandos in Normandy.

James Stewart flew 20 missions as a B-24 pilot in Europe.

Clark Gable (Mega-Movie Star when war broke out) was a waist gunner
Flying missions on a B-17 in Europe.

Charlton Heston was an Army Air Corps Sergeant in Kodiak.

Earnest Borgnine was a U.S. Navy Gunners Mate 1935-1945.

Charles Durning was a U.S. Army Ranger at Normandy.

Charles Bronson was a tail gunner in the Army Air Corps.

George C. Scott was a U.S. Marine.

Eddie Albert (Green Acres TV) was awarded a Bronze Star for his heroic
action as a U.S. Naval officer aiding Marines at the horrific battle on the
island of Tarawa in the Pacific Nov.1943.

Brian Keith served as a Marine rear gunner in several actions against
The Japanese on Rabal in the Pacific.

Lee Marvin was a marine on Saipan when he was wounded.

John Russell was a Marine on Guadalcanal.

Robert Ryan was a U.S. Marine who served with the O.S.S. in Yugoslavia.

Tyrone Power (an established movie star when Pearl Harbor was bombed)
joined the Marines, was a pilot flying supplies into, and wounded Marines
out of Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

Audie Murphy , little guy from Texas, Most Decorated serviceman of
WWII.

I wish I had room to tell you more about Actor Sterling Hayden and an
Actor by the name of Peter J. Ortiz (Twelve O'clock High, Rio Grande and The

Wings of Eagles), but this would turn into a book.

There is quite a huge gap between the heroics and patriotism in 1943
And the cowardly despicable posturing of the Hollywood crowd of today...all
of which smack of sedition and treason.

Think about this every time you decide which movie or concert you will
attend!
