There are a number of notable rockers and other celebrities that served in the military, but there are also a number of entertainers you may not remember also enlisted.
This Veterans Day, we take at some public figures you may have forgot were also veterans.
Bob Ross
The first two words you think of when talking about Bob Ross is likely “Happy Trees” and not “Master Sergeant,” but that’s the highest rank the host of “The Joy Of Painting” held in his 20 years with the Air Force.
James Doohan
Before he was Montgomery “Scotty” Scott on Star Trek, Doohan served in the Canadian Army and fought at Normandy on D-Day where he was shot a number of times, including a shot to the chest that was stopped by a cigarette case.
Leonard Nimoy
Star Trek’s Mr. Spock joined the United States Army Reserves and earned the rank of sergeant before being discharged in 1955.
