Jeremy Padawer Instagram – In high school, I wrote 1,000 letters to the most important, successful, famous, infamous, known people of the 20th century. I asked, “what has been your greatest accomplishment?”

I was uncertain as to what I was going to be doing with my life, but I knew that I wanted to do something that would lead to financial success and some notoriety. It was a big ask for a kid from the Deep South without connections, and a lot of future student loans. These letters helped me understand that remarkable people were real, accessible and human. If THEY were human, why couldn’t I aspire to do something really cool or great as well?

On July 4th, our Independence Day, I share you a letter from Ed McMahon, who served during World War 2, the Korean War, and Vietnam. 

In World War 2, McMahon acted as a flight instructor for the Marine Corps. He remained in active duty after the war and achieved six Air Medals for flying 85 combat missions over North Korea. 

McMahon’s active duty ended in 1966… 
4 years AFTER becoming the greatest co-host in American television history. 

And, in this particular time in 1992, just a few months after retiring from the Tonight Show, McMahon wrote me back… Me. A 18 year old from nowhere with big aspirations and no specific plan other than college.

Of the 1,000 letters I sent, I received so many directional, substantive, heartfelt responses. 

Please note on July 4th, the United States Independence Day, that Ed McMahon was both a funny sidekick on TV… and also a soldier who fought for America.

Happy July 4th. ❤️
