The two main ones I think you forgot are Ronald Reagan and John Wayne (though he never served).

Are you kidding? John Wayne served in all 4 branches of the Service, from enlisted to flag rank! :-)

John Ford (Rear Admiral, USNRV) was so upset with his friend John Wayne's refusal to serve in WW11, that in the original credits for "They were Expendable"(1945), all the actors were titled with their actual active duty military rank. The notable exception, John Wayne..
