Back when Hollywood entertainers were role models rather than examples of everything we and our children should avoid.
Too bad the son and the director of, “A Christmas Story” were slaughtered on PCH by yet another drunk illegal alien.
Jimmy Stewart is one of my heroes. I believe he flew combat missions in 3 wars, while at the same time being a great actor. Lord, do I miss the “Greatest Generation”.
My dad left the farm plowing with a mule and ended up a bomber pilot in WWII, without a single day of college.He had 3 brothers also in the war. and these men were my idols. My mother was also in the service as a WAVE during the war.I was lucky to have them as examples of courage, fortitude and patriotism .
God Bless General Stewart and all on his generation this Christmas Eve.

I believe Stewart had a son or step-son killed in the Vietnam War. I think he was in the Marines.
Stewart and Henry Fonda were friends. They must have avoided any talk about politics.
I’m gettin ready to pop the movie in the player! I do it every Christmas Eve.
Jimmy Stewart...a real hero!
When John Wayne was dying, and making his last film, The Shootist (my favorite of his), his old friend Jimmy Stewart played the doctor who informed the John Wayne character that his illness was terminal.
I love movies that feature true Americana. This is one of the best. Back in the 40s and 50s Hollywood had real Americans who loved their country like Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable.
