The Lee Marvin story is partly true. He wasn't at Iwo. He was a Saipan. Captain Kangaroo DID NOT fight alongside Lee. He came into the war at the very end.

Keeshan joined the Marine Corps in 1945 but did not see action in World War II; the popular Internet rumor that he fought on Iwo Jima alongside actor Lee Marvin is not true. For details, see our loop Legends of E-Mail.
