Not true.
Unless all the biographical information available about him is wrong, Fred McFeely Rogers never served in the military in any capacity, let alone as a Navy Seal (or Marine sniper, as another version of this apocryphal story claims). Some cynical folks may be loathe to believe that the gentle, soft-spoken host of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" was exactly what he seemed, but he was.
Rumors to the contrary have circulated since the early 1990s. It's unknown where, precisely, these stories originated, but around 1994 Fred Rogers' supposed military exploits became a hot topic on the Internet, and grew hotter as the decade wore on.

Not true.
But what they DID was great enough without that.
P.S. When ever I get some amazing story in an email, I always check on www.snopes.com to see if it's true before I pass it on.

Not. That urban legend has been making the rounds for years.
But yes, they both did a lot of good for kids.
