And Mr.Rogers,
who always made me feel special!!
He was special.
Mr. Rodgers was a Navy Seal in Nam. He specialized in hand to hand combat. 19 confirmed kills.
He found religion and became a minister.
He wore long sleeves to hide his tattoos.
And lets not forget ''The Captian''
"The Captain" was a "beach master" (meaning "under fire" he directed wounded out and fresh troops in on Iwo Jima.
BTW,
Eddie Albert, of Green Acres fame, ferried the wounded off Iwo under heavy fire. [/quote
Funny that we only knew them as kind old men, in our youth.
When in fact, we were gazing upon heroes.

Actually, Fred Rogers was never in the service, never killed anyone, and had no tatoos. Urban myth.
And lets not forget ''The Captian''
Bob Keeshan enlisted, but never saw action. Lee Marvin did not see action at Iwo Jima, but did see action and was wounded elsewhere. Urban myth again.

Tater's Dad: I think I recognize that picture of captain kirk from a particular episode. They land on a planet and people in their memories are popping up in physical form. I think that picture from your avatar is when he is fighting "Finnegan", a guy who played pranks on kirk in his academy days .

Mighty Mouse Theme Song lyrics
Mr. trouble never hangs around,
when he hears this Mighty sound,
Here I come to save the day!
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!
Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right,
Mighty Mouse will join the fight!
On the sea or on the land,
He's got the situation well in hand!
when he hears this Mighty sound,
Here I come to save the day!
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!
Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right,
Mighty Mouse will join the fight!
On the sea or on the land,
He's got the situation well in hand!
