Bob Keeshan ... Captain Kangaroo

He was also a great war hero. He saved Lee Marvin's life, rescued those from PT 109, fought alongside Mr. Green Jeans and served Bunny Rabbit in the form of a delicious stew to hungry enlistees in his outfit.

Keeshan was in the Marines, but was still in training camp when WWII ended.

"...when on an August mid-morning our drill-instructor or DI summoned us to sit in the shade of a large, we knew something momentous was at hand."

"The DI, reading from hand-held notes, said, "The Lootenant told me to tell you that the US of A has dropped a ay-tomic bomb on Japan. I never heard of a ay-tomic bomb, but they tell me that it is like a thousand f---- tons of f---- dynamite and it looks like the f---- Japs have f---- had it. But if you think you a---- are going anywhere you are f---- wrong. So, go, go go!"
