Awesome recognition ... Thanks Lou F.!

This is awesome!!!!! It's a shame something this valuable has not been televised.
Army Ranger Surprise
You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw who they were talking about... I had no idea....wait till you see who it is. What a simple but most sincere and moving acceptance speech. Loved his recommendation for all our politicos.
Many people may have forgotten about his time in the U.S. Army. He is the son
of an Air Force General, and an 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 (gunship) 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!
