Charles Bronson
There aren’t many actors in Hollywood who are cooler than Charles Bronson, but it’s not the silver screen alone that has made him who he is. He contributed his best during WWII when he enlisted in the 760th Flexible Gunnery Training Squadron. After 25 successful battle missions that he flew, he received the “Purple Heart” award as he was wounded during one of the missions.
