At least make these guys work a little Brady.  Who was John Wayne playing?

This is an image of the real guy. What was his name, job etc.

Not the uncanny resemblence to the Duke too:rolleyes:

My understanding is he was CO of 2/505 during D-Day not, the entire 505th., but close enough.  Thanks Pugg :)
