12A54 Posted January 27, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2016 Born in 1921, he was 20 when the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. I can only find vague references to his service in WWII ("...after serving in WWII..."), no details. Does anyone here know if he served or what the nature of his service was?

stealthytyler Posted January 27, 2016 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2016 Are you sure that is the right spelling? Is his first name Abe or Abraham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor996 Posted January 27, 2016 Share #4 Posted January 27, 2016 There is an Abraham Vigoda NARA record from NY. https://aad.archives.gov/aad/record-detail.jsp?dt=893&mtch=7&cat=all&tf=F&q=vigoda&bc=sd&rpp=10&pg=1&rid=3239338&rlst=2415451,2484736,3239338,3963249,8321136,443080,567779 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268th C.A. Posted January 27, 2016 Share #5 Posted January 27, 2016 I'm sure that is him, he was an Army Veteran. I believe he was from NY or NJ. He was a great actor, his mother & father were Russian Immigrants. RIP Abe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12A54 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted January 27, 2016 Was he at Pearl Harbor? I only used that date to illustrate that he was 20 when the war began. Am just curious about his service - where, what branch, unit, etc. It's odd that there are no more details about his service as there seems to be with other famous actors.
