Williams served as a navy pilot in World War II and the Korean War.

Ted Williams was a United States Marine, not a squid.

I know. I hadn't noticed the wire report's goof. Well, ok, if you want to split hairs, the Navy is the official overlord of the Marines, but I did say "split hairs." In a way, it wouldn't matter if Williams was a squid, a jar, a grunt, or a gull. He flew for us. All of us.
