This is missing the current president, Obama, who has no military experience, and based on some things he has said and done I think he had no dealings with anyone in the military until he became president.

Wasn't sure if he really qualifies as president until he complets a full term without getting impeached or deported. Besides would he be listed under Barack Obama or Barry Sotero. We never had a president with two names and a foreign passport before.

How about that one of Trueman in WW1 with the British style Helment. he was Signal Corps. I think.

Military Service

Although he struggled to succeed on the farm and in business, Harry S. Truman found success in the military. Starting from the rank of Private in the National Guard of Missouri, Truman left military service 37 years later as a Colonel in the U.S. Army Officers' Reserve Corps. On active duty during the First World War, Captain Truman excelled as the commanding officer of a field artillery battery. His intelligence, practical experience, and work ethic proved invaluable. "Captain Harry" was highly respected by the nearly two hundred men of Battery D, and that respect kindled lifelong friendships.

I knew he was artillery but I never knew he had gotten all the way up to Colonel.

Here he is, I found the Photo. This has always been my favorite of him. While he was a Dem. For the most Part he did the Right Thing. Obongo would never have Bombed Japan.
