Where it's due

With all the recent attention given to the demise of a wacko who committed improprieties with children, and to an alcoholic who committed improprieties with our Constitution, I thought I'd point something out.

Ed McMahon was a World War II Marine flight instructor, and in Korea he flew 85 combat missions, earning 6 Air Medals. He retired from the reserve in 1966 as a Colonel.

Then he went on to become the sidekick of the funniest late night host there has ever been, and helped out with the Labor Day MDA telethon.

Thank you Mr. McMahon.
