Positivity: Recalling Hollywood Stars Who Served
This is from Anna at A Rose by Any Other Name — actually, from her father:
….. With the advent of World War many of our actors went to fight rather than stand and rant against this country we all love. They gave up their wealth, position and fame to become service men &women, many as simple “enlisted men.†This page lists but a few, but from this group of only 18 men came over 70 medals in honor of their valor, spanning from Bronze Stars, Silver Stars, Distinguish Service Cross’, Purple Hearts and one Congressional Medal of Honor. ….. I would like to remind the people of what the entertainers of 1943 were doing, (60 years ago). Most of these brave men have since passed on.
Read the whole thing. The fact that the Anna’s post compares current celebrities unfavorably to those in the past doesn’t alter the positive contributions of those from yesteryear cited in the e-mail from Anna’s dad.
