Heard on the news that he was a WWII Marine pilot. After the war he went to school on the GI Bill, and reenlisted for the Korean Conflict.

Provided I heard this correctly...the media didn't spend very much time paying tribute to him. Bigger fish to fry, I suppose.

You are correct Sir. I heard one 5 second blib about Mr. McMahon's service on FOX. I will also remember my Dad, who like many others, lied about his age to join up after Pearl. Thanks Pop

Well, I reckon that at least TWO of us heard this.

Congratulations on having such a fine father, you should be proud.
