Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire On Purple Heart Day, honoring Charles Durning, character actor and WWII hero

A true hero buried in Arlington.

He appeared in an NCIS episode as a Medal of Honor recipient.

This is a classic Charles Durning scene. One of the best.

I used to have the old movie "Stand Alone "
where he played a WWII vet that had to
go up against a gang of pinhead hoodrat
thugs. The character relives and recalls
some of his old commando training and
wipes the floor with the gangbangers

Worth looking for if you've never seen it

I worked with Charles Durning's brother Cliff and two nephew's over 25yrs. Boilermaker's Local 5 NYC.
