Many people may have forgotten about his time in the U.S. Army.
He is the son of an Air Force General, and a accomplished Golden Gloves boxer,
and he graduated from Pomona College with a B.S. degree, and then became a
Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University.
He joined the U.S. Army at the prompting of his father. After graduating from Officer Candidate School he attended and graduated from both Army Airborne and Ranger training in the very top of each class. He was selected for U S. Army Special Forces Training but refused so that he could attend pilot training where he earned his wings, and became an accomplished U.S. Army helicopter (gun ship) pilot, and achieved the rank of Captain.
He was about to be promoted to the rank of Major, and appointed to teach at West Point when he resigned his commission from the Army to go into music and acting You can tell in this video that his time in the military means a lot to him. I won't give away who it is. You should just watch.
I bet you will be surprised!

Many thanks William, that's a very heart warming tribute for sure.
This is the type of thing that should be seen on every TV station.

Alan, that was posted in June last year. It has
been removed from YouTube or is private now.

| But of course, it's Kris Kristofferson. Not exactly a big secret, although I suppose if you think about him in terms of his stereotyped image you might be surprised. |
