"As a Marine he helped build safe houses in occupied France for those hiding from the Nazis'

I knew Ford had hard-core U.S.A. cred, but didn't see one mention of it in his obit.

He wasn't in the French Foreign Legion, either. You can't trust Newsmax as a news source.

Glen Ford was a great actor. However the man's record as a patriot are far greater than his film career.
