Maybe.
(note to self: don't use pics from wikipedia after this one)The Kennedy who was killed before parachuting out of his plane that was going to be used as a guided missile? Eddie O'Hare?
Sorry for the delay (plus I've been waiting for more guesses)Here's a couple of hints: Marine, Battle of Guadalcanal
Aha! Mitchell paige! From Wikipedia: He received this most prestigious military honor awarded by the United States of America for his actions at the Battle of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands on October 26, 1942, where, after all other soldiers in his platoon were killed or wounded, he operated four machine guns, singlehandedly stopping an entire Japanese regiment.
Correct! Very good. He also has a GI Joe with his name. http://cgi.ebay.com/GI-JOE-MITCHELL-PAIGE-WWII-FIGURE_W0QQitemZ220056065626QQihZ012QQcategoryZ1168QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I didn't realize that Mitchell Paige was a well-known figure. I had written a post about him after I saw a show with him on it that really impressed me. Nobody had responded to the post though…. 😥
Sorry, Phid. I didn't see it until you pointed it out. Since you posted that, you should have got this.
