Well, the only ones I can think of are JFK and his brother Joe, Jr. who was killed in service; also a descendant of Teddy Roosevelt was part of the invasion of Normandy I believe.

There was also a piece that appeared earlier this year, I think about an upper-class type fellow whose son was going into the military. I know that's not much to go on, but maybe others will remember it in more detail. It was rather good as I recall. I think the author may have been a college professor or somesuch.

I remember that piece - the son of two professors who had been anti-war activists in the Viet Nam era and were against our current policies...but they whole-heartedly supported their son's choice, despite their fears.

Don't forget GHW Bush; the youngest Naval flyer in WWII.

You have named some well-known men who served in the military. There are probably thousands from "rich" families who are not celebrties or well-known.

Remember, to a Liberal a "rich" person is one who has two nickels to rub together--an entire different meaning than to conservatives.
