He didn’t serve, his adopted brother George however was one of the Tuskegee Airmen though...he taught Fred to fly per wikipedia above.

Thanks.

Though I’m skeptical about a lot of what Wikepedia says.

I don’t recall my source.

Much appreciated.

Evidently you and Wikipedia are quite right.

Mr Rogers went straight from high school into college and then straight into broadcasting. He never had any gaps during which he could have been in the military.

And, he had no tattoos—the sweater was for informality tone setting.

Thanks.
