Welcome back to our channel, where we celebrate the extraordinary lives of famous veterans who shaped history! In this video, we dive into the inspiring stories of two Hollywood legends born on May 16—Harry Carey, Jr. and Henry Fonda—who served courageously during World War II.

First, we explore Harry Carey, Jr. (born May 16, 1921), a Navy Pharmacist Mate 2nd Class who served in the Pacific Theater before working in a Naval photographic unit for the OSS, creating training films under director John Ford. Known for roles in films like The Whales of August, Carey’s legacy as an actor and veteran endures.

Next, we honor Henry Fonda (born May 16, 1905), the iconic star of The Grapes of Wrath. Fonda enlisted in the Navy, serving three years on the USS Satterlee and in Air Combat Intelligence, earning a Bronze Star Medal and Navy Presidential Unit Citation. His patriotism and bravery shine as brightly as his film career.
