Les stars qui ont servi dans le corps des Marines

[Gibbs le Cajun]

J'ouvre se file pour parlé de ses stars US qui ont servi dans le Corps des Marines .

 

 

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_McQueen

 

En 1947, McQueen a rejoint le Corps des Marines des États-Unis et a été promu au soldat de première classe et affecté à une unité de Amtrack (Blindé de transport amphibie )  Dans un premier temps, il revint à son esprit de rébellion d'avant, et a été rétrogradé à sept fois . Il  pris une absence non autorisée en omettant de retourner après une absence une fois un   week-end  expiré, rester avec une amie pendant deux semaines jusqu'à ce que la patrouille à terre l'a attrapé. Il a résisté à l'arrestation et a passé 41 jours en cellule. Après cela, McQueen a décidé de concentrer ses énergies sur l'amélioration de soi et d'embrassé la discipline des Marines. Il a sauvé la vie de cinq autres Marines lors d'un exercice dans l'Arctique, les tirant d'un blindé avant qu'il ne passe à travers la glace dans la mer.  Il a été affecté à la garde d'honneur, responsable de la garde puis sur le yacht du président américain Harry Truman .  McQueen servi jusqu'en 1950 quand il a été libéré honorablement. Plus tard, il a dit qu'il avait apprécié son temps dans les Marines

On remarquera que ses acteurs ont eu une expérience qui leur a sûrement apporté beaucoup dans le vie d'acteur .

 

Une anecdote sur Keitel et Scott Glenn  et Christopher Walken :

 

 

Christopher Walken est bien connu pour sa capacité à jouer dan un rôle de militaires  notamment dans la séquence Pulp Fiction sur les conséquences de cacher les bijoux de famille en ... eh bien ... les bijoux de famille. Mais il a servi son pays pour de vrai? Walken a été mis sur la sellette à propos de sa carrière militaire par des amis et ex-marines Scott Glenn et Harvey Keitel. M. Keitel et M. Glenn, portant exactement la même chemise noire et un blazer noir combo, partagé un moment de l'homme amour et eu un câlin copieux avant M. Keitel a crié, "Un camarade Marine - nous devons rester ensemble" M. Keitel a appelé à Christopher Walken debout à proximité, "Hey, Walken vous étiez dans les Marines?" Prenant une longue gorgée de vin rouge, l'acteur peu de cendre a répondu avec un sourire, "j'ai étais mais personne ne me croit jamais." (Le Observateur avait un regard et il semble que Walken jamais réellement servi dans les forces armées.)

 

J'ai fait une traduction google ,donc pas très propre mais on comprend que sa a branché sévère

Le fils de l'acteur Gregory Peck https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Peck  a servi au Vietnam dans les Marines .

LOS ANGELES-Born to Oscar-winning father Gregory Peck, Stephen Peck for a time lived the Hollywood dream and worked in the film industry. However, Peck knew his heart was in another place. "Everyone is surprised to find out about what I'm doing because my father was Gregory Peck and they feel there are many other things I could be doing," says Peck from his downtown office. But Peck took a different road. He was drafted into the U.S. Marine Corps in 1968 after college. "I didn't volunteer. Uncle Sam called me," he says. He served as a lieutenant in the 1st Marine Division near Da Nang from 1969 to 1970.

Stephen J. Peck, who served as a Marine officer in Vietnam, heads the nation's largest nonprofit devoted to provided housing and other essential services to at-risk veterans.
United States Veterans Initiative (U.S.VETS), which opened its first facility in Los Angeles in 1992, has grown to 11 sites in six states and the District of Columbia, serving more than 2,000 veterans a day. Yearly, U.S.VETS helps 3,500 veterans find housing and more than 1,000 veterans gain full-time jobs.

Peck, 65, says he learned in the Marine Corps, "If you don't go where the trouble is, you can't solve the problem." 
As U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to wind down, the issues of veteran unemployment, homelessness, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injuries have reached critical levels. Eighteen veterans a day commit suicide in the United States.

"Our job at U.S.VETS is to engage the enemy at home -- the enemy of homelessness, disillusionment and disappointment -- to let these men and women know there is a path forward," says Peck.

Peck graduated from Northwestern University in 1968 and entered the Marine Corps that same year. In Vietnam, he was a first lieutenant in the 1st Marine Division, serving as a forward observer outside of Danang in 1969, receiving the Navy Commendation Medal. During his service in Vietnam, his iconic father, actor Gregory Peck, was a very visible opponent of the war.  "My father opposed the war but passionately supported the men who fought in Vietnam," Peck says. "He was one of the first members of the U.S.VETS honorary board of directors, as were several of his very famous friends."  After his service, Peck followed his father into the movie business, devoting his talents to documentary films. Eventually, a series of films on homelessness and veteran's issues compelled him to move from behind the camera to become a full-time advocate.
Peck went to work helping the Veterans Administration place homeless veterans into housing and eventually joined the organization that became U.S.VETS as Director of Community Development in 1996. He was appointed president and CEO in August 2010.  U.S.VETS strives to empower each veteran to take responsibility for his or her success, guiding them towards independence in the community, developing their workforce skills and supporting recovery by maintaining a drug and alcohol free environment at its sites.

Peck earned his Master’s Degree in Social Work from USC in 1997. He has been honored by the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, the USC School of Social Work, the American Legion Auxiliary, and the City of Long Beach.
Peck and his wife, Kristine Kidd, a food writer and culinary consultant, and the former Food Editor of Bon Appetit magazine, live with their Labrador retriever, Atticus, in the Los Angeles community of Topanga Canyon. He has a grown son, Ethan, an actor; and a grown step-daughter, Marisa, a writer.

According to wiki he was drafted in 1967 and served 18 months in Vietnam. Eighteen months indicates a six month extension.

His own bio says he enlisted:
"Wes joined the U.S. Army and while stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia, stories from returning Vietnam War veterans set his blood on fire. With only 12 months of his six-year service left, Wes volunteered to go to Vietnam. He served one tour in South Vietnam with the 9th Infantry Division in the Mekong Delta, living his own future war stories. At one point his company was pinned down in the Mekong Delta – and nearly killed – by friendly fire."

Je ne suis pas sûr mais il me semble qu'il a quasiment effectué un tour d'opération complet au-dessus de l'Europe occupée. Clark Gable a lui aussi réalisé plusieurs opérations au-dessus de l'Allemagne pour tourner un film de propagande.

[pascal]

Stewart était pilote civil avant guerre il sera commandant de bord et officier des opérations d'un BG sur B-24 il a fait de mémoire plus de 25 missions au dessus de l'Europe. Il finira sa carrière comme Brigadier Général après avoir volé sur B47 et B52
