The colonel salutes, the men salute, salute, salute—what is that salute, sir? It’s a symbol of insecurity. It says, “love me, I love you, want me, I want you…”

18 year-old Private George Kennedy (1943)

At the height of World War II in 1943, George Kennedy enlisted in the Army while still in high school. Originally he wanted to be a pilot in the Air Corps, but at 6'4" he overshot the pilot height limit of 6'2". He was eventually assigned to the Infantry and was sent to fight in Europe. He served under General George Patton in the 99th Infantry Division's Cannon Company, 395th Infantry Regiment, and saw action in North Africa, Anzio, and the Battle of the Bulge.

After the war, George was assigned to the Army Signal Corps as a Public Communications Officer where his baritone voice landed him on the air as a radio host and DJ on the Armed Forces Radio Network. Eventually he helped establish the Army Information Office under General William Westmoreland at the Pentagon, which provided technical services to the film and television industries. It was in this capacity that George served as Army technical advisor on The Phil Silvers Show (Sgt. Bilko) and set his future career in motion.

George served 16 years in the Army before heading to Hollywood. Before retiring at the rank of Captain, he earned 2 Bronze Stars for valor and four rows of service medals, including the Presidential Unit Citation, the American Campaign medal, the Europe/African/Middle Eastern Campaign medal, the World War II Victory medal, the Army Occupation medal, and the National Defense Service medal.

Terry Carter (born John Everett DeCoste; December 16, 1928 – April 23, 2024) Actor and filmmaker, known for his roles as Sgt. Joe Broadhurst on the TV series McCloud and as Colonel Tigh on the original Battlestar Galactica.

Carter acted in numerous television series, specials, and theatrical films. Carter was a regular cast member of The Phil Silvers Show (popularly known as Sergeant Bilko), appearing as Pvt. Sugie Sugarman in 91 episodes between 1955 and '59. Carter played boxer Rosie Palmer in a 1964 episode of the ABC drama Breaking Point. In 1965 he was the only black actor to have a role in the World War II drama Combat! in the season three episode "The Long Wait". He is best known internationally for his co-starring role as Colonel Tigh in the popular science-fiction TV series Battlestar Galactica. He was originally cast as Lieutenant Boomer, but was cut following a roller skating accident that fractured his ankle. After replacing Carter with Herb Jefferson, Jr., producer Glen A. Larson instead offered Terry Carter the role of Colonel Tigh, second in command of the ragtag fleet of starships, giving the series the distinction for the time of having more than one regular African-American character in the principal cast. Carter also starred as Dennis Weaver's partner, Sergeant Joe Broadhurst in the detective series McCloud for seven years.

In 1975, Carter started a small Los Angeles corporation, Meta/4 Productions, Inc. for which he produced and directed industrial and educational presentations on film and videotape for the federal government. Carter was president of Council for Positive Images, Inc., a non-profit organization he formed in 1979, dedicated to enhancing intercultural and interethnic understanding through audiovisual communication. Under the council's auspices, Carter produced and directed award-winning dramatic and documentary programs for presentation on PBS and distribution worldwide.
