Carson said people may not have known that Marvin fought in Iwo Jima, one of the best known battles of World War II, and was awarded the Navy Cross. Marvin then tells a story of heroism in battle about the bravest man he ever knew who was also awarded the Navy Cross...Bob Keeshan who later became best known as Captain Kangaroo. There is no record of Lee Marvin at Iwo Jima or winning the Navy Cross. According to a biography that is on file at TruthOrFiction.com, Marvin did see a lot of action in the Pacific participating in the invasions at Kwajalein and Eniwetok and was wounded in Saipan, in the butt, for which he was awarded the Purple Heart. Marvin is buried in Arlington Cemetery.
