won him two dollars in a acting contest at age 11. Farr’s first film roles
were in 1955 in Blackboard Jungle (billed as Jameel Farah) and as a
fruit vendor in Kismet (un-credited). After this, he joined the United
States Army for two years, with service in Japan and Korea

Yank, the Army Weekly was a magazine published by the United States 
military during World War II. The idea for the magazine came from Egbert 
White, who had worked on Stars and Stripes during World War I.

The term "G.I. Joe" was first used in a comic strip by Dave Breger that
was a regular feature in the magazine. A popular “morale booster” was
the inclusion of a stage or screen star pin-up girl.

Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which
happened on that day in 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.

The United States Army also celebrates it’s Birthday on this date; Congress adopted
"the American continental army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee
of the Whole on June 14, 1775.

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established
June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act
of Congress. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday.
