Jimmy Fallon’s family has a proud history of military service. His father was in the Navy. His father-in-law (shown above) was a pilot in the Marine Corps.

During a training mission in the 1960s, he successfully ejected from his aircraft after he ran into trouble.

Watch as Jimmy not only explains how he encountered the special “gift” that he eventually bestows upon the former Marine, but the fascinating history and exclusive club behind it.
