The Pirate King: Rob Riggle’s Emotional Return To Military Roots

I’ve always loved Riggle’s comedy, but I was so impressed to learn about his incredible service! He dedicated 23 years to the U.S. Marine Corps, starting in 1990 and retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2013. He wasn’t just a reservist either; he served actively and then continued in the Reserves, even deploying to places like Liberia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. It really adds another layer of respect for everything he does.
