Good evening, 2CAVTrooper! Thanks very much for your service to our Nation! Thanks as well for your posting of this roster of Hollywood luniaries who answered the call during WWII!

I believe Bob Hope and others who did not wear the uniform yet served in other ways should be acknowledged as well.

Damn few of them now - Gary Sinese and a few others. God Bless them for their support of our Gallant Troops!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
