Recentley a beloved actor James Doohan who played Scotty on the Original Star Trek Series, it has been a while of his death. Scotty was not only my favorite character in all the Star Trek series there is a little known fact about him. Before Star Trek he was a Captain in the Royal Canadian Artillery. While leading his men into battle on D-Day, Doohan was shot six times and wounded in the leg and hand, and eventually lost a finger. For the remainder of the war, he became a pilot observer, and received the dubious distinction of being called the "craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Forces." I bet most of you guys didnt know that and that makes him to the CoD legion even a more of a hero then just the legendary phrase "Beem me up Scotty!"
