Silas Merritt Robertson (born April 27, 1948), known as Si Robertson and often referred to as "Uncle Si", is an American television personality, preacher, hunter, outdoorsman, retired U.S. Army soldier, and a retired duck-call maker at Duck Commander. He is best known for his role on A&E's Duck Dynasty, on which he has emerged as the breakout character.[1] He has also appeared on other shows such as the Outdoor Channel's Buck Commander and The Duckmen of Louisiana, and was the eponymous host of the Duck Dynasty spin-off Going Si-Ral Si has also made a guest appearance on Last Man Standing.
After dropping out of Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana after three quarters, he was drafted into the United States Army during the Vietnam War.[3] During the war, his mother sent him a set of Tupperware cups, beans and rice, two boots, and two jars of jalapeño peppers in each boot because he loves jalapeño peppers.[4][5] He is rarely seen without one of his plastic cups drinking iced tea, which he treats with equal importance.[4]
Si retired from the Army in 1993 with the rank of Sergeant First Class (E-7).[6] Robertson is recognized for his military career with an exhibit at the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum in Monroe, Louisiana.[7]

Silas Merritt "Si" Robertson (born April 27, 1948), often referred to as Uncle Si, is an American television personality, preacher, hunter, outdoorsman, and duck-call maker at Duck Commander. He is best known for his role on A&E’s Duck Dynasty, on which he has emerged as the breakout character. He has also appeared on other shows such as the Outdoor Channel's Buck Commander..
Robertson was born to James and Merritt Robertson (née Hale) in Vivian, Louisiana, the 6th of 7 children. He has 4 brothers, James, Harold, Thomas, and Phil, and two sisters, Judith and Janice. Due to financial setbacks of their family during Si and his siblings' childhoods, the Robertson family lived in rugged conditions with significantly fewer amenities than the average American enjoyed. Si and his older brother Phil were the best of friends; while Phil was in high school, Si almost always tagged along with him and his girlfriend Kay. In high school, Si attended North Caddo High School in Vivian, Louisiana. He played on the football team in the footsteps of his brother Phil, even wearing the same #10 jersey. .
After dropping out of Louisiana Tech University after three quarters, Robertson was drafted into the United States Army during the Vietnam War. During the war, his mother sent him a set of Tupperware cups, two boots, and two jars of jalapeno peppers in each boot, because he loves jalapeno peppers. These gifts are his greatest treasures, and he is rarely seen without one of his plastic cups drinking iced tea, which he treats with equal importance. Si retired from the Army in 1993 with the rank of Sergeant First Class (E-7) .
After retiring from the Army in 1993, Si found employment at his brother Phil's Duck Commander business. Si has been a big part of the growing business. His job is to fashion the reeds that are inserted in every patented duck call. Si thinks that it is a pretty easy job and is depicted in Duck Dynasty as having difficulties staying on task; he often seeks breaks to take a nap or play around with equipment in the warehouse .
In an interview with Good Morning America, Robertson talked about his wife. He said, "One woman has already got my heart, we've been married for 43 years and her name is Miss Christine." He also talked about how after he had asked for her hand in marriage about 100 times, she finally said yes. The two married in 1971, and they had a daughter; Trasa, and a son; Scott. They also have 8 grandsons..
Like the rest of his family, Robertson is very open about his Christian faith. "That's what got me through 65 years of life, my belief in God and what He's done for us and what He will do for us". His favorite Scripture verses are John 3:16 and 17. "When I sign people's stuff I put down John 3:16 and 17. Most people can tell you what 16 says, OK. 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.' But they don't know nothin' about 17. It says Jesus didn't come to condemn us. If anybody had a right to condemn someone, it would be the son of God. If he didn't do it, then hey, we definitely are not qualified to do it." Robertson lent his voice and personal appearance to the VeggieTales video, Merry Larry and the True Light of Christmas in which he narrates the video and appears as an okra mall janitor. Along with Willie, he appeared on an episode of Last Man Standing. .
In A&E's reality television show Duck Dynasty, Si (or Uncle Si) is one of the main characters. He is perhaps the most well-known and recognized character of the bunch, due to the frequency and quality of his jokes, as well as his general manner. His spontaneous nature often launches the plot of the show into action, whether handcuffing himself to his nephew Willie, or spending the prize money of $2,000 at a children's arcade .
Phrases The following is a list of some of the characteristic phrases Robertson uses: · The constant use of the interjection "Hey!" · The use of the phrase "That's a fact, Jack" or simply the addition of "Jack" at the end of sentences. · The insult of calling people "heifers." · The use of the phrase "He/He's gone!" · The exclamation "It's on like Donkey Kong!"

Great video. I like that when Uncle Sy said "When you look at my face, you're looking at the face of everyone who served."
