Many years before Aldo Ray portrayed Sgt. Muldoon in The Green Berets he was a special forces swimmer in the Navy

If this is the place to celebrate movie star veterans, I want to add British movie star Richard Todd who bravely parachuted into France on D-Day! He wasn’t just in THE LONGEST DAY, he lived it!

If this is the place to celebrate movie star veterans, I want to add British movie star Richard Todd who bravely parachuted into France on D-Day! He wasn’t just in THE LONGEST DAY, he lived it! The last time I watched THE LONGEST DAY, I did a little background research on the film. Interestingly, Richard Todd was offered the option of playing himself in the film. He decided, however, that he’d rather play a fictional character, so another actor played the character based on Todd (although they didn’t use Todd’s name for that character). But, in the film, Todd did wear the same beret that he’d worn during the real D-Day.
