[post_page_title]Mel Brooks[/post_page_title]

Mel Brooks is best known for being a comedic genius who brought us such amazing films as Spaceballs, The Producers and Silent Movie. But before Brooks was a writer, producer, director, and comedian, he was Melvin Kaminsky. Young Melvin was a member of the 1104 Engineer Combat Battalion from 1944 until 1946. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge and defused landmines during the war. It looks like Brooks is an American hero and legend in more ways than one.
