Henry Fonda was a lifelong Democrat. However, he also served in the Navy for three years, during WW2, initially as a Quartermaster 3rd Class on the destroyer USS Satterlee; later, Fonda was commissioned as a Lieutenant Junior Grade (O-2) in Air Combat Intelligence. For his service in the Central Pacific, he won the Bronze Star.
This was back when you could be a democrat and still appreciate where you lived.
