a very different time; few (today's) actors/singers; would've even consider it. :-\
many actors/singers; are very very anti-freedom/American.

One of the best Hollywood stars ever.

Ronald Reagan also served, however, as public relations laison. He did a lot of good for the buying Bonds efforts. Not everyone can be a front line troop.

Reagan joined the cavalry in ‘37, long before the war started. His eyesight kept him out of combat.
To: Beowulf9
John Wayne was 34 when the war started. There was no escaping the draft or avoidance on his part. Many actors of his age did not serve. Your snide implication is rather stupid.

He liked to take those bows for a service he portrayed but never put his neck on the line.
Stewart enlisted in his 30s.

I know a former Navy Seal that said when Jimmy died the AF lost a good friend. He said he was an incredible pilot that could fly anything.....

Jimmy Stewart was a great patriot and certainly in the top five of all actors ever.
