2011: NOTES Hi visitors! My summer project is a general clean-up of this website. This website been up for many, many years -- since 1995 -- and I'm revisiting all the pages, cleaning up any broken links and updating information. If you see something that needs fixing, please let me know! The forum, alas, is broken - you can view older comments but can't add any new comments. Even so, I hope you enjoy the website and will come visit us again.

Saunders in Bronze

Artist (and Combat! fan) Michael Keropian has designed and created a truly superb work of art honoring Sergeant Saunders. Please visit his website at keropiansculpture.com/sgt_saunders.html for more photos and further information.

He has also designed a stunning bust of our hero.

07/27/2002 More additions to the Actors in WWII page.

07/23/2002 From the mailbag:

I remembered Rick saying at RECON 2000, and in a letter to Jo printed in her book how Rick had given away his rifle he carried on the show to Charlie Callas. I wrote to Charlie to inquire about IF he still had it
in his possession. Here is his reply.

Yo Steven:

Thanks for your e-mail. Enjoyed hearingfrom you. Sorry to say the Rifle was given to a friend of mine in 1985. He has since passed away and I have no idea what he did with it or where it could be. I remember the barrel being plugged with lead so it could not be fired. It was one of many Carbines that the Studio had. The Studio always has several back-ups of the same article - in case one busts etc. etc.

Stay well,
Charlie

I guess it is lost forever. To bad. It would have made one heck of a memento to all us fans to see it after all this time. I did write back tell Charlie how I enjoy his work too.

From the Mailbag, Wed, 26 Jun 2002
I just wanted to share this with someone who would actually care (although you probably already knew this). In the recent movie John Q, as the police sniper closes in on our hero, he radios back to base, "Checkmate King Two, this is White Rook".
Regards,
Rick Behnke
Phoenix, AZ

Reply: Dear Rick: Thanks for the email. Yes, I actually care, and No, I didn't know this. So,the   Saunders and Hanley legacy are infiltrating contemporary films. Yippee!

He was very gracious when I told him how much Combat and Conlan Carter's protrayal of a medic had impressed me.
Sincerely, Patricia W. Sewell(Pat)

I have never read a book that gives you so many perspectives of the war both on a personal level and an historical one. It's one of the most touching stories I have ever read. All you P-51 fans will really enjoy the technical stuff! Truly a unique account.
