More from TodayIFoundOut Why “Colonel” is Pronounced “Kernel” https://youtu.be/7opCZv6JqnU?list=PLR0XuDegDqP3-uys3Rl2dvdsFkk96zRbt Why Do People Sometimes Call Police Officers Pigs? https://youtu.be/t8cb_Hdsjos?list=PLR0XuDegDqP3-uys3Rl2dvdsFkk96zRbt In this video: Kentucky Colonel is the highest honor that can be bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. (Incidentally, if you’re curious: Why Colonel is Pronounced “Kernel”) To be named a “Colonel” is to be recognized for “outstanding service to community, state, and nation.” The sitting governor of Kentucky, or the Secretary of State of Kentucky, are the only ones who can bestow such an honor onto an individual. These colonels are “Kentucky’s ambassadors of goodwill and fellowship around the world” and are “people from all walks of life.” Want the text version?: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/04/colonel-sanders-actually-colonel/ Sources: http://colonelsanders.com/history_colonelSanders.asp http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/colonel-sanders-grave http://www.ronford.net/ui/kfc3/townsquare/colonel/colhistory1.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Sanders http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2019218,00.html http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/26/travel/in-kentucky-fried-chicken-history.html?_r=0 http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2011/07/29/kfc-honors-colonel-who-hatched-the-brand/ http://kycolonels.org/our-history/ http://www.nndb.com/honors/256/000163764/ http://books.google.com/books?id=qh5AEnwoJuIC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Colonel+Sanders+and+the+American+Dream.&hl=en&sa=X&ei=kc5RU4_xKYWPyASIpYH4AQ&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAA#v=snippet&q=Cuba&f=f https://s3.amaz
