Clark Gable was an actor before WWII - Gone With The Wind. He and many others interrupted their careers in entertainment to fight in WWII. One more not mentioned was Gene Autry.

Audie Murphy 1950....

It ain't about the size of the dog in the fight.

It's about the size of the fight in the dog!

Audie L. Murphy: 5' 5 1/2" in height.

It's a shame that kids today only know about this Patriot if their parents teach them about him.

Two books on Audie can be downloaded for free here; https://b-ok.cc/book/3880894/db52e3 and https://b-ok.cc/book/21511070/366728. an additional book I read along time ago that was very good is "No Name On the Bullet".....the last two books cover in small part Murphy's terrible struggle with PTSD
