Confusion with war hero edit

Jim Healy used to tell the story that Eckert was elected in part due to confusion. He had a name similar to a WWII hero, and a few teams owners were surprised to learn the man they voted for was not that man. — Randall Bart (talk) 07:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

WWII service edit

So what exactly did the guy do during the war, considering the article makes it pretty clear he was in the service during the period.

* He served Europe as commander of the 452nd Bomb Group — ERcheck (talk) 21:04, 11 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
