I also think Robert Montgomery was doing something in the Navy; of course Gable's wife Carole Lombard was killed in early forty two selling war bonds, Frank Capra enlisted in the Army Signal Corp to make war time movies, winning an Academy Award for "THE NEGRO SOLDIER" which helped get the military desegregated; many lesser "B" stars also contributed GREATLY to the war cause. 'Twas a different world. Too bad we don't still live in it.

The 'registered Republicans' part sounds unlikely to me. In WWII DemonRats weren't the America-haters they are now.

.........from this group of only 18 men came over 70 medals in honor of their valor,......

If Alec Baldwin, Sean penn, and the rest of today's pinkos would have been around in the
40's, I'm sure they would have earned their most distinguished medal, the IRON CROSS.

Is there any way to verify that they were all GOP? It would make powerful stuff for e-mails and talking points if it could be verified.

Don't forget band leader Glenn Miller...

While you're at it, don't forget that WWII was a unified effort and millions of Americans served. The Iraqi War/War Against Terrorism is not in the same league. I think you're comparing apples and hex bolts.

You forgot the unforgettable Glenn Ford

Like many young men, Glenn Ford put aside his career and signed up, serving with the Marine Corps in 1943-45 on both the Pacific and Atlantic fronts. On leave in 1943 he married talented tap dancer and actress Eleanor Powell, with the birth of son Peter coming in 1945.
