Ceremony remembers Ed McMahon
Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Mike Lehnert said few knew of McMahon's military record because "he didn't flaunt it." Above, McMahon's son Lex. Lehnert recounted McMahon's service in World War II as a flight instructor and test pilot, his time in the Marine Reserves and his return to active duty in the Korean War. He flew 85 missions and retired as a full colonel in 1966. AP Photo/Dan Steinberg
