Talk:DeForest Kelley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De did not serve overseas as this bio suggests. His brother Casey did and was in the Battle of the Bulge. De served in Roswell NM and at Fort Roach in Culver City CA. He was seperated from the ArmyAir Corps in Colorado, along with George Reeves, the original Superman.
The Internet is full of essays and reports about and by Trekkers who were angry about DeForest Kelley not getting a send-off in the annual Oscar tribute to celebs who have died. But the strange thing is, he WAS featured; they showed his "only one of each of us" monologue from the "Star Trek" episode "Balance of Terror." Considering most people during the tribute were just flashed on the screen for a second or so, while they showed a whole monologue from Kelley, it confuses me to no end how people could have missed it.

After reading the above, and performing some googling, I have removed this:
- Kelley was assigned to bomber duty over Europe and his awards and decorations include the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal.
We need to cite a source, otherwise, it should stay out. Func( t, c, @, ) 04:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
: I wonder if Kelley's tombstone (if he has one), has written on it "He's dead Jim". Kelley (when he was alive), jokingly suggested it ,when referring to his Star Trek character Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Mightberight/wrong 23:37, 29 October 2005 (UTC).
That makes me think, what is written on his tombstone? Mewtroid 22:55, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- he was cremated and ashes were scattered at sea so he wouldn't have one71.131.33.187 04:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
