Celebrities are more than entertainers – in some cases they are veterans.

 

From World War II to modern day, famous actors, musicians, and public figures have served in the Army before, during, or after their rise to fame. Elvis Presley, Clint Eastwood, Gene Wilder, and Ice T are just some of the many celebrities who have donned an Army uniform. Regardless of their celebrity status, all of these Soldiers showed commitment to duty, rose to meet new challenges, and sacrificed on behalf of their mission. In many cases, their military service influenced their life and career when they returned home.

 

In this History Talk, learn more about the commitment, challenges, and sacrifices of the many Hollywood Soldiers.
