Charles Durning (February 28, 1923 – December 24, 2012) also went ashore on D-Day and was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Heart Medals for his service in Europe. He was always one of my favorite character actors appearing in in The Sting (1973) as the crooked cop, Lt. Snyder.

Other film credits off the top of my head include Dog Day Afternoon; the Senator in The Final Countdown; the Captain in The Hindenburg; Twilight's Last Gleaming with Burt Lancaster; True Confessions with Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall and playing "Pappy" O'Daniel, a cynical governor of Mississippi i in the Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000).

Rest in Peace, Charlie, we honor your service.
