RIP James Doohan (2005)

#1 Post by jarnon » Wed Aug 06, 2025 6:42 am

EFB is teeming with memorials to Scotty on the 20th anniversary of his death (July 20, 2005).

I didn’t know that, as a lieutenant in the Canadian Forces, he landed on Juno beach on D-Day. That night, he was shot six times by friendly fire (with friends like those...). A silver cigarette case, a gift from his brother, saved his life. He lost his right middle finger, so he rarely showed his right hand on TV.
