Re: Memorial Day, D-Day and World War II stuff



Henry Grace, according to the Internet Movie Database, and it was
uncredited.  He apparently was also in several Elvis movies, including
Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas.

Personally, I watched Longest Day for John Wayne, and was disappointed that
he was in it for something like three scenes.  I should probably watch it
again just to pay attention to the rest of the movie.
