Captain Kangaroo turned 76 recently, which is odd because he's never looked a day under 76 (dob: 6/27/27). This brings to mind the following story. ...........
Johnny, I'm not lying...Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man I ever knew... The sergeant's name is Bob Keeshan...You and the world know him as Captain Kangaroo.
Battle for Iwo Jima - World War II

That story sounds fishy. How many 17 year old seargeants have you ever heard about?

My father wanted into the WWII action and signed up with the Navy when he was 17 (I don't want to know how) , but he just missed it. I think the war ended when he was in boot. He was born in 1928. Ended up on a long destroyer cruise up and down the coast of China.
