A World War II veteran? Which side was he on?
According to his bio, he was a PT boat captain and a DemoCRAP. So, probably with JFK enjoying himself with Navy nurses while better men than he fought the Emperor Hirohito's maniacal army (you know the same ethnic "little yellow" American ones that JFK's Jew-hating-and Hitler-loving old man, Joe, and FDR clamped in our camps)
The heel-clicking side.
