If you didn't know....

Mr. Rogers was a Navy Seal. He was combat proven in Vietnam with over 25 confirmed kills. He wore a long sleeved sweater on TV to cover his tattoos. He was a master in small arms and hand to hand combat. After the ware he was ordained as a Presbyterian Minister, therefore becoming a pacifist. He vowed to never harm again and dedicated the rest of his life to trying to help lead children on the right path in life.

Lee Marvin left school to join the United States Marine Corps. He was a scout sniper in the 4th Marine Division. He was wounded in action during WWII Battle of Saipan. His wound (in the butt) was from machine gun fire and severed the sciatic nerve. He was awarded the Purple Heart and given a medical discharge with the rank of Private First Class.
