Wow, he was at Normandy on D-Day:

Quote:

The Canadians crossed a minefield laid for tanks; the soldiers weren't heavy enough to detonate the bombs. At 11:30 that night, he was machine-gunned, taking six hits: one that took off his middle right finger (he managed to hide the missing finger on screen), four in his leg and one in the chest. Fortunately the chest bullet was stopped by his silver cigarette case.

He was my favorite character.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I just saw it on the news. They started the story with footage from Star Trek and I had the sound low so my first thought was "Oh not not the ****-man" but then they started focusing on James Doohan, which is worse.
