Great tribute to a veteran. I did not know all this.
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.
