[Milsurplus] Tony Bennett, WW2 combat veteran

[Hubert Miller]

I was listening tonight to NPR program "Fresh Air" with a couple interviews of Tony Bennett from 1991 and 1998. I had always figured that as part of the "Rat Pack" he was some belligerent  slacker like Frank Sinatra. That was very wrong. I learned, among other interesting things, that he was an infantry combat veteran, Battle of the Bulge, and later had been punished by some devious sergeant by being sent to Graves Registration for 2+ weeks. I always knew that he was a great singer but my respect for him vastly increased after hearing this show.
