Tyrone Power was not only a mega movie star and stage actor, he was also a WWII Marine Corps Pilot, 1st Lieutenant who flew wounded soldiers out of Okinawa, Hiroshima, and Iwo Jima. He was awarded the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with two bronze stars, and the World War II Victory Medal. He remained in the Marine Corps Reserves the remainder of his life, ultimately being promoted the rank of Major. He passed away at 44 on the set of his last movie, Solomon and Sheba, in 1958. He is really someone who gave their all.
