I met him on his 75th Birthday when he came back to his hometown (Indiana, PA). A class act all the way...here's the statue of him in front of the present day county courthouse...

This is him after V-J Day in front of the old courthouse, which is still there and looks pretty much the same, although it's been converted to office space...

I wish we had some Jimmy Stewart’s in Hollywood today.

I have so much respect for Stewart. Not only did he serve during WWII, (which many entertainers didn't), but he served in one of the most dangerous and demanding services. And he didn't just serve, he distinguished himself.

That Pennsylvania twang of his was so distinctive!

We watched our copy of The Philadelphia Story again not long ago, one of the best comedies ever IMHO.

Truly a great man.

My favorite movie of all time is “Harvey”.

General Stewart was possibly the greatest actor of all time and a true Hollywood patriot along with President Reagan and John Wayne.

My Father met Jimmy Stewart in London during WWII. They sat across from each other at an Officer’s Mess.He was polite, shy and my Dad said there was a reason he was so slim. He chewed each bite twenty times! Mr.Stewart is one of my favorite film actor because of his committment to his country.
