Drew Carey shares military stories at unveiling of Lone Sailor Statue

Drew Carey has always been known for his love of Cleveland, comedy and his various TV roles. But did you know he also served in the military?

The Price is Right host was back home in Cleveland for a special ceremony Friday to unveil the Lone Sailor Statue at the Great Lakes Science Center as he discussed his time with the Marines.

“I play down my time in the Marine Corps all the time,” Carey said as he addressed the crowd before the statue’s unveiling. “I was just in the reserves. I never fought in combat. I was never in danger.”

Carey’s return to Cleveland on Friday comes just a few weeks before he's set to receive a Lone Sailor Award from the U.S. Navy, which are given to those “who have drawn upon their past military experience to become successful in their lives and exemplify the core Navy Memorial values of honor, courage an commitment.”
