On The Road with Ernest Borgnine: In The Navy and John Wayne

Ernie tells the story of how he wound up in the Navy for ten years, during the Depression. In WWII, he served as a first class gunner's mate, going up and down the East Coast hunting German submarines. Ernie tells about getting drunk with John Wayne. For some odd reason, I cannot recall the name of the film "True Grit."

Too bad there was no professional camera man to get footage of the convoy. Even though the camera was mounted, they could have rotated or moved it to show what he was so excited about. Notice a lot of times throughout the different videos of Ernie mentioning things he sees, but cameraman doesn't follow along with it. I've always loved the honesty, compassion, and patriotism that Ernest Borgnine has always had for others and our country. I can tell that he has passed it down to his son too and even more thankful for that....................a real parent!!! God Bless Ernest's soul and his family. What a great and wonderful man.

He would come in my barber shop in West Allis Wi when he was in town for the Great Circus Parade. The first time he came in, I had a regular customer coming in, so he sat and waited till I was done with him. When I asked him if he wanted his eyebrows trimmed, He said " Oh kid, dont tuch them, that's money in the bank!" He even sent me an autographed picture made out to me. I still have it in my shop. He was a very cool person. Loved people. I gave him 4 or 5 haircuts over the years....
