>>205536 Fred Rogers has been the subject of a few urban legends. Among the urban legends and rumors about Rogers[19] is that he served in the military around the era of the Vietnam war, he was a Marine sniper, or a Navy SEAL. Rumors to this effect have been discounted as false on urban legend verification websites.[19] It is also false that he wore long-sleeved cardigans to cover tattoos on his arms. No military service has ever been mentioned in any biographies, nor is there any period of time unaccounted for where he could have been involved in war efforts. During most of the Vietnam conflict, he was fully dedicated to his television show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and before that, around the start of the war, he was living and working in Canada, and working on getting the rights for his show and moving it to Pittsburgh.
