The state bestows the honor in recognition of noteworthy accomplishments or outstanding service and on July 4th Kael took to social media to share the news that he was a recipient.
He wrote, "I am OFFICIALLY Colonel Kael now! Thanks @mikespears83 and @govandybeshear for making this happen. As a kid from Kentucky who followed his dreams until he caught them, this is an absolute honor.
"Looking forward to attending next year's @thunderoverlouisville and @kentuckyderby! @5fdp #ColonelKael #Sh*tYesSon #BBN #KentuckyBorn #VegasMade #BBN #KaelAsF*** #HailKael".
