He never served in the military and I don't think he made the honorary list, though, yeah, I hope he's long remembered.

I remember he was driving drunk and did a headon a kid in another car seriously injuring him long time ago. Think he was convicted and spent time just doing Home Arrest. Oh well Actors uggh lol I like his films just almost killing an innocent kid is pretty bad Good luck at the pearly gates

Pappy Boyington died in 1988, and yes, he was a Marine and commanded VMF-214.

Robert Conrad portrayed him but wasn't him.

My mistake, for some reason I thought you were talking about the real Boyington. Stupid me, I realize he died years ago. Need to read more carefully. So embarrassing. :o

Yea, I misread that too but gotta say, who cares? He was just an actor, I know plenty of way better people that have died and didn't make the news.
