Today is Armed Forces Day, which honors those who are serving/have served our country. Last week, we celebrated Military Spouse Day with some touching words from soldiers and their wives about what the military life means to them, so today I’m going to do something a bit lighter. 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.
