10 Veterans Who Might Surprise You

Today is Armed Forces Day, which honors those who are serving/have served our country.

Below are 10 people that you might not know served our country. I know that there are some big names missing, but in the spirit of Armed Forces Day, I wanted to ensure equal representation amongst the branches.
