I don’t have to talk about his accomplishments, do I?
Norris was born in Ryan, Oklahoma, on March 10, 1940.
He served in the Air Force as an Air Policeman until 1962.
After he left, Norris applied to be a police officer in California and opened a martial arts studio.
The rest is history.
Norris never backed away from his beliefs. He openly spoke out about his faith and conservative politics.
Despite being an open Christian and Republican, Norris seemed to be respected by everyone. I mean, how do you not? He was a respectful man.
My generation will always remember him from Sidekicks. Gotta watch that today.
