I think its an interesting sign of the times. It seems they knew him more for being a Medal of Honor recipient than for being an actor. What a time that must have been to live in to have military members as celebrities.
he died at age 46 in a plane crash. How interesting it would be if he were still here.

And look at all of the other actors who fought in WWII or became actors afterwards...

Does anyone know if any actors are serving in the military today? I don't keep up with Hollywood gossup, but I sincerely doubt it!
