Correction to the John Wayne entry - almost all wrong.

At start of war he was 34 (overage) and sole support of a family of 4 - Draft Status 3-A
His contracted Studio, Republic, threatened contract breech and requested draft deferment from Gov.
He did multiple Hollywood Star / War Bond raising tours.
He volunteered for OSS and was accepted but mail went to an old address. OSS did say he served(?)
