Today the Did You Know I didn't give out a hint last time and it is a little different than the last few. All previous ones were men and woman that served in the U.S. military and today I would like to look at two people that served in other countries military that are now celebrities. Gal Gadot: known as Gisele Yashar from Fast & Furious, or as Wonder Woman. Gal was born in Petah Tikva, Israel in 1985 and she served her mandatory two years of service in the Israel Defense Forces as a combat instructor which had to help her in many of her action movie roles. Thomas Sean Connery: Better known as Sean Connery Sean know for many of his great roles over the year is probably most know as the first, and in my opinion the best, James Bond. There is conflicting information out there some says he joined the service at 15 and others 16 years old. He served for a little over 2 years when he got a medical discharge for ulcers. Yet another two that we can thank for their service. Next time we will talk about two people who played parts together of being in war who actually served during that same war. Umm what?

Thomas Sean Connery is very familiar to me. He's my original James Bond actor.
