Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers were members of SOF.
Fact: Captain Kangaroo, was not a member of U.S. Special Forces nor was he a member of the any other service in the U.S. SOF community. Captain Kangaroo, whose real name was Robert James Keeshan, did serve in World War II, as a member of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves but did not see combat, as he had enlisted too late. Mr. Rogers, was not a U.S. Navy SEAL who served in Vietnam and had twenty five confirmed kills. Mr. Rogers, whose real name is Fred McFeely Rogers, never served in the U.S. Military. It's a disserve to the memory of both Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers to perpetuate these myths. Both stories serve as reminders that myths and hoaxes continue to be circulated and believed. If you get an email that contains a suspicious story, it's pretty simple to do a little checking before passing that suspicious story along. The U.S. SOF Community already has so many myths to battle already, let's help them reduce and eliminate any that we can.
