There are many more who chose their service and Arlington National Cemetery. Mike Mansfield was a senator from Montana and for a number of years Senate Majority Leader.

Another little known member of the WW II effort:
Julia Child.jpg
https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/ju...y-ops-for-oss/Julia Child is probably best known for bringing French cuisine into America’s mainstream. But, few know that she had a dynamic career as an intelligence officer before she became a cooking icon.
…
Soon after the United States entered World War II, Julia felt the need to serve her country. Too tall to join the military (she was 6’2″), Julia volunteered her services to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which was the forerunner of today’s Central Intelligence Agency. She was one of 4,500 women who served in the OSS.

Thanks for posting that, I had no idea Eddie Albert was a WWII hero. He was one of my favorite actors.
