Supv. Dianne Herner sent out more than 40 letters apologizing for perpetuating a fictitious tale about celebrities who fought in famous American battles.
At the beginning of a County Board meeting, Herner commemorated Memorial Day by reciting a story about unsung heroes she had received in an e-mail.
The legend claimed actor Lee Marvin and television personalities Bob Keeshan and Fred Rogers — better known as Captain Kangaroo and Mister Rogers — fought bravely at Iwo Jima, one of World War II's most storied battles, and in Vietnam, respectively.
