HERO, LLC Challenges Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to

Remember Past Hollywood-Heroes

Copy of Letter Sent To Academy Today

Mr. Frank Pierson, President

Mr. Gil Gates, Producer, Oscars Broadcast

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

Messer’s Pierson and Gates:

We realize that at this writing you are a little over 48 hours away from the Oscars broadcast. However, with the war in the Middle East ongoing and events fluid, HERO, LLC would like you to consider a taped segment honoring Hollywood Heroes of the past during your broadcast.

Actors such as Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, Glenn Ford, Audie Murphy, Ronald Reagan and many others, donned our nation's uniform with pride during World War II, in many cases delaying their careers by years. Elvis Presley served in Germany during the 50's.

Don't forget Lee Marvin, USMC.

LOL!
Bob Keeshan (sp?) never made it to the theater. He was still in training.

DUH! Martin Sheen was in the Apcolypse Now Extraction! THEN went on to become the PRESIDENT. His son CHARLIE, defended this country in THE RED DAWN CAMPAIGNE. THE PLATOON OF TEARS! and The HOT SHOT WAR! They both could have gotten heat stroke!

Not to mention...Mike Farell was a DOCTOR in the KOREAN WAR!!! For 12 YEARS!

TIM ROBBINS served in THE JACOB'S LADDER AFFAIR! He risked his life in an ICE-FILLED bathtub!

AND do NOT forget that JENNIFER ANISTON KILLED a LEPRECHON (well sort of)

Never forget the TRUE heros of America.
