Robert Mitchum, you are the MAN!

It is the wrap up of Veteran's Day weekend on AMC and they are showing "The Longest Day". here is the cast list: The Longest Day .

This is amazing. So many stars. What gets me is the number of stars who, themselves, served in the war that was portrayed.

Eddie Albert: USN Coxwain and Higgins Boat driver, so seeing him walk off of a Higgins boat in the film gives me willys thinking about what he was feeling...

Robert Mitchum: USMC Nuff Said.

Paul Anka: USMC See above.

George Segal: USMC

Of course, this is personal knowledge, I'm betting that most of the cast served during the war in the various branches, since every able body was in it. I just wanted to point out the Sailors and Marines in the film...

Glad you two think it was funny. It sounded like he worked in an office not as a marine. I still don't know who those two people are.

Um. There is no 'Was' attached to a title of 'U.S. Marine'. Yer pretty close there. Very civilian, doing the defense industry thing, but very fiercely and loyaly a U.S. Marine. Solve it?
