WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WW II MOVIE STARS?


Hope you find this as informative as I did.

In contrast to the ideals, opinions
and feelings of today's "Hollywonk" the real actors
of yester-year loved the
United States.
They had both class and integrity.
With the advent of World War II 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.

So remember; while the "Entertainers of 2007" have
been in all of the news media lately I would like to
remind the people of what the
entertainers of 1943 were doing, (61 years ago).

Most of these brave men have since passed on.

So how do you feel the real heroes of the silver screen acted
when compared to the hollywonks today
who spew out anti-American drivel
as they bite the hand that feeds them?
Can you imagine these stars of yester-year saying they hate our flag,
making anti-war speeches,
marching in anti-American parades
and saying they hate
our president?

I thought not, ... neither did I!
