As this rumor goes, actor Lee Marvin and Bob 'Captain Kangaroo' Keeshan were World War II veterans who fought together at Iwo Jima.
Lee Marvin, actor, and Bob Keeshan, television's"Captain Kangaroo" were World War II veterans who fought together at Iwo Jima.Actor Lee Marvin fought in the Pacific theater during World War II, received a Purple Heart, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.Neither Lee Marvin nor Bob Keeshan fought in the battle for Iwo Jima, nor did they both take part in any World War II action.
And you know how Lee was … “Yeah, yeah … I got shot square in the ass and they gave me the Cross for securing a hot spot about halfway up Suribachi. Bad thing about getting shot up on a mountain is guys gettin’ shot hauling you down. But Johnny at Iwo I served under the bravest man I ever knew … We both got the Cross the same day but what he did for his Cross made mine look cheap in comparison.
Many people have always been a bit offended that Lee Marvin is buried in a grove of 3 and 4 star generals at Arlington. His marker gives his name, rank and service . Nothing else.
