Celebrities’ Courageous Stories About How They Served in the Army

Mr. T – Military Police Corps

Laurence Tureaud, best known as Mr. T and who you may know from his roles in Rocky III or The A-Team, enlisted with the Army Military Police Corps after he was expelled from Prairie View University early on during his first year there.
