Their email is ColonelCSA@gmail where, I assume, CSA is Confederate States of America. I did a little research and found that they are a Confederate re-enactor in the Ozarks who plays a Colonel in the re-enactments and does not appear to have any military background. This was... not surprising.

So basically he's about as much of a Colonel as Colonel Sanders.

The “colonel” was given to him in 1935 as an honorary title by the governor of Kentucky in recognition of his accomplishments

So, it wasn’t just a marketing term, but a state title granted to him.

Kentucky uses it's otherwise defunct state militia as a legal basis for a program to recognize residents of the state who perform significant and/or consistent acts of charity to their communities. The program is "The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels" and when a person is inducted into the program the governor officially appoints them as an officer in the state militia with the rank of colonel.

And all because his chicken was just that good. Apparently, he felt the larger franchise absolutely ruined his recipe.

Lee's Famous Recipe was founded by Colonel Sanders's nephew. It is much closer to the original KFC. You can get all of his original recipes, the gravy change is what he hated most, at Claudia Sanders Dinner House in Shelbyville, Kentucky.

Thank you for expanding, I didn’t do but a cursory search.
