Happy Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day to those who served.

Clark Gable joined the Army Air Corps in August 1942, after the death of his wife Carole Lombard left his aimless and shattered. He was 41 years old.

He was not the only Hollywood heavyweight to join World War II, not by a long shot. A fan magazine in April 1943 published these pictures in a salute:

Pictured are Richard Greene (British Army), Victor Mature (Coast Guard), Henry Wilcoxon (Coast Guard), James Stewart (Army), Ronald Reagan (Army), Jeffrey Lynn (Army), David Niven (British Army), William Holden (Army), Henry Fonda (Navy), Clark Gable (Army), Glenn Ford (Marines), Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (Navy), Robert Stack (Navy), Richard Ney (Navy), Tyrone Power (Marines), Burgess Meredith (Army) and Gene Raymond (Army).
