Audey Murphy, one of my all-time favourite cowboy stars, earned the Congressional Medal of Honor and was the most decorated USA soldier of WWII. His experiences left him a much troubled man afte the conflict.

A great list of actors who served their country, including Ernest Borgnine, 12 years in the USA navy before WWII, Tony Curtis in WWII, Henry Fonday, USA Navy and a Bronze Star for bravery, Clark Gable actually flew bomber combat missions in WWII and Richard Burton, Royal Navy.
