Another tid bit. Woody, and maybe Cisco, too, actually shipped on a few Merchant Marine vessels some of them ferrying troops over to Europe. When the U-boat warnings occurred, the crew usually headed top-side in the hope of bailing overboard if the ship was struck. The troops were not allowed to move topside. Woody would head down to the troops to entertain them during this perilous time. A time when actions speak louder than words.
