Celebrities Who You Didn’t Know Served In The Military

James Stewart

If you are looking for a famous celebrity who has attained the highest rank in the military, look no further because it’s Hollywood’s Golden Age actor James Stewart! So in real life, it was George Bailey from It’s a Wonderful Life who joined the military, and not Harry! Stewart joined the U.S. Air Force and fought during World War II. He was promoted to Brigadier General in 1959 and later on Major General, as he served the army for a total of 27 years!  He was the first major motion picture actor who joined the military, which did not surprise his family, because both his grandfather and father also served the country during war.
