Captain Kangaroo turns 75!

[Packo]

We all remember Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keesham, and I'm sure we all enjoyed watching him as a kid. Let's wish him a Happy Birthday! Why, I'm sure your all wondering.....well I'll tell you,


Lee Marvin was one of my favorite actors of all time but did you know he's buried in Arlington Cemetary? There have been some complaints that a lowly Marine Pvt made it in and he's just there because he was an actor. Well, an actor, yes....a great actor, YES, but how many of you know he recieved the NAVY CROSS at Iwo. On the Johnny Carson show Johnny was interviewing Lee and mentioned his NAVY CROSS. (next highest to the MOH) Lee poo-pooed and and said "I got that for securing a position on Mt Suribaci and getting shot in the butt. The bravest man I ever saw was my Sgt. who also got the Cross that day. He got it for standing up on that bloody beach and directing his troops in. He then led a rescue party up that Mountain to get me off. He was the bravest man I've ever seen and my Cross is nothing compared to his. We have remained the closest of friends since."

That brave Sgt's name? Sgt. Bob Keesham.........CAPT. KANGAROO!

Let's all wish the Capt. a HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND A BIG OOOHRAA!

SEMPER FI BOB!

Airborne!

ATTENTION: I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS AN URBAN MYTH!
MARVIN WAS IN THE PACIFIC AS A GRUNT BUT WAS NEVER AT IWO. HE WAS A PURPLE HEART RECIPIENT. KEESHAN WAS A MARINE BUT NEVER SAW COMBAT. THE JOHNNY CARSON SHOW WAS A COMPLETE FABRICATION. SORRY GUYS, BUT AT LEAST BOTH SERVED HONORABLY. GO TO:
