Sad that our WWII heroes are mostly gone…but we still have heros. Look to Vietnam, there are guys from there that have outstanding records. Mostly they keep quiet about it. Look to the Gulf wars..there are heroes there and with Iraq and Afghanistan there are more everyday. Thanks to ALL veterans and God bless everyone of them. These are my heroes!

I got this through an email and you right all of our heroes are dieing. Like Ed McMahon all of the older stars in Hollywood were in the WWII unlike the new stars that want to take shoots at our country. I am a vet my self and I feel we are losing our country. If our for fathers were here there would be a new fight. IN GOD I TRUST and hope you feel the same, we do need HEROS.

A most fitting tribute, found in an unexpected place. A google news search lead me to this page. Nicely done, sir. Too bad more “news” writers didn’t follow your lead.

Tank: I can’t thank you enough for that information. Sadly, I was not aware of his military service. Thank you for bringing that to my attention and to this article.

I agree with your sentiments with regard to Jackson and Fawcett. However, from your article it appears that you may be unaware of General McMahon’s military service record.

McMahon was a USMC fighter pilot awarded -six- Air Medals who fought in WWII _and_ Korea. He retired as a Colonel from the USMCR and was then appointed to the rank of Brigadier General in the California National Guard.

Hardly a “nobody” like Jackson or Fawcett with regard to his military service and certainly equal to Powers.
