Lee Marvin, U. S. Marine

Hollywood liberals have been a bit offended that the actor, Lee Marvin, is buried in a grave at Arlington National Cemetery.

In a time when many Hollywood stars served their country in the armed services, often in rear echelon posts where they were carefully protected, only to be trotted out to perform for the cameras in war bond promotions, Lee Marvin served in battle.

Lee Marvin enlisted in the U.S. Marines, saw action as Private First Class in the Pacific during World War II. During the battle for Saipan, in June 1944, he was wounded, in the buttocks, by fire which severed his sciatic nerve.

Marvin received a Purple Heart and in 1987 was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

America’s service men and women don’t flaunt what they do; they quietly go about their day-to-day lives, doing what they do best, protecting the freedoms that we all enjoy.

Look around and see if you can find one of those service men or woman. Take the time to thank them for protecting your freedom.
