A veteran I never knew was one.

[M1 Rifleman]

There were many World War II celebrities who did not shirk their duty. I remember a list going around the Internet a couple of years ago which listed many of them (ie - Charlton Heston, Sergeant, Aluetian Islands, etc). Of course, the most famous of the list was that slight, little Texan who served with Co. B 15th Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division. His name was Audie Murphy, the most decorated soldier of World War II!!

Murphy was also a hero after the war for speaking out about the mental costs paid by servicemen & the stigma of seeking treatment.
