I saw the thread about Jack Warden and thought I'd post one about Lee Marvin. He's always been one of my favorite actors.

Lee Marvin served in the Marine Corp. in the Pacific campaign during WW2. (I heard he joined up at the age of 17). According to Wikipedia, Marvin served as a sniper in the 4th Marine Division and was wounded in the Battle of Saipan (where most of his platoon were killed).

Thank God for these men.
