A great American and one of the absolute best actors of all time.

A guy I know served in Viet Nam and he said when his tour of duty was over and he flew back to the US, his plane landed in California. There was no fanfare or anything for the returning soldiers, but there was one guy waiting to greet them when they got off the plane - Jimmy Stewart. He was there by himself - no people or press. He came because of them.
Apparently he often did that, and this guy said it was something that has always stuck with him.

After reading all these mini bios and stories all I can say is: “Damn..I miss the old days!”

There is a sequel to the James Stewart story. His stepson, Ronald Walsh McLean, became an officer in the Marine Corps. 1st Lieutenant McLean was killed in action in Vietnam. Semper fidelis.

Steward was amazing. Watched him in the “Glen Miller Story” last night- another American hero.
