Lee Marvin was wounded at Saipan. He is buried at Arlington.

Trust but verify!
Agreed.
Chickensoup,
Yes, Jimmy Stewart was an actor, but based upon several biographies of him that I’ve read, he was unsure if he could return to being an actor after the war. If you look at the pictures he was in pre-1941, most were of the “light hearted” variety. His post war pictures show a man who was changed, physically and mentally, from the pre-war man. His post-war movies were consistently of a more serious vein. And look at his face, one can see how he aged during the war years and his combat tour flying B-24s with the Eighth Air Force.
I recommend two biographies of him and his service in the USAAF: “Jimmy Stewart - Bomber Pilot” by Starr Smith, and “Mission: Jimmy Stewart and the Fight for Europe” by Robert Matzen.
Gene Teirney. Now there was a woman!
thank you .
Of course people are changed by war. Or any other event where they face the pathos of human existence.
But to call these experiences PTSD is to minimize the totality of the experiences.
Unless we separate from the Leftardniki, those days will never come back.
Different people, different time, different country.
A much BETTER place, then.
#8 You would have liked Grace Kelly looking at you after she was done with you in the ‘rear window’....
The westerns that Jimmy Stewart did in the 50’s are among the very best made.
