Happy Veteran’s Day (Observed). If you haven’t already, be sure to thank the Veterans in your life today, and always keep them in your thoughts and prayers–especially the physically and emotionally wounded.

From a tiny Army role in a Steve Canyon serial, to another tiny part as an Air Force Sergeant in Them! (1954), to a bigger role in The Balcony (hubba,hubba!)
to another small Army role in The Twilight Zone, In the Army again on Combat!, to a Navy Captain in Assault On the Wayne (1971).

And here is a slide show to whet your appetite, if you’re new to old movies, this is a great place to start!
