Lee Marvin, Capt Kangaroo & Mister Rogers
#3

Lee Marvin served with the 4th Marine Division in a reconnaissance co. He fought with them on the islands of Eniwetoh, Kwajalein and Saipan were he was wounded in the rear end severing the sciatic nerve on June 18 1944. He spent the next thirteen months in naval hospitals. He was awarded the Purple Heart and campaign medals but not the Navy Cross. He did not serve on Iwo Jima nor did Bob Keeshan who enlisted at 17 after Iwo Jima was over and was still in training when the war ended. As for Mr Rogers he never serve in the military and all.
