Kris Kristofferson died yesterday at 88.

He is one of my all time favorites. I had no idea he ever was in the military, RIP. 😢

He is a former United States Army Rangers captain. He graduated Airborne School, Ranger School, and flight school, served in Germany, and volunteered for Vietnam as a helicopter pilot, but instead was offered a professor of English Literature position at USMA West Point.
