American television host and all-out funnyman Jimmy Kimmel isn’t an American military veteran … but his father is.
Now a retired former IBM executive, James Kimmel was a soldier in the United States Army, and is “kinda” honored in this tweet from his famous jokey son (who also extended it to “all who serve and served”):
Happy Veteran's Day to all who serve and served – even my Dad, an Army cook who served potatoes. We are grateful to and for you.
