Was Mr. Rogers Really A Navy SEAL? – Dale’s Daily Data
May 18, 2011 We were talking yesterday about the Navy SEALS - what they do and how they began and we mentioned two of the more famous ones.... from the first season of Survivor Rudy Boesch and wrestler and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura. We also got a number of calls about Fred Rogers who for 30 years was the gentle, soft-talking host of that children's TV show, “Mr. Rogers Neighborhood” on PBS. Most everybody thinks he too was a Navy Seal. And the rumor has been that he always wore a sweater and long sleeve shirt to cover the tattoos he got in the military. So we had to check into that one.
