I Served Too large banner

This is my tribute to notable entertainers who have served in the military, including the Coast Guard and Merchant Marine.  Hollywood actors, producers, directors, TV stars, newsmen, musicians, radio hosts, authors, publishers, sports, and various entertainment industry figures who have all entertained us.  The majority are Americans with some Canadians, British, and a few others mixed in.

I am currently seeking new additions to my list of notable entertainers.  Especially those who have served in Southwest Asia, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

If you have any additional information regarding their military service please forward it to me. 
  I am also seeking quality public domain photographs.  All photographs used on this site are from the Public Domain. 

Please help improve this website.  Send comments, recommendations, and other feedback to the webmaster.

Thank you to all who have sent recommendations.

This website is currently optimized for Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, & Firefox.
Select Personal, Service, and Campaign ribbons are currently being placed and noted in profiles where appropriate and verified by at least one source.  U.S. Military Awards and Decorations used throughout the website are linked to their Wikipedia description via pop-up boxes which can easily be closed after viewing.

Ribbons are currently being placed on a case-by-case basis.  If I could not determine an individuals eligibility with the information available or via research, I did not place the ribbon. 

Common sense was used to determine award eligibility on numerous profiles, i.e. if an individual served onboard a ship or aircraft in the Pacific Theater an Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal was noted in their profile.  Known individual service dates were also used to determine award eligibility on numerous profiles.

The following awards are currently used in individual profiles:

     

Authorized Foreign Decorations of the U.S. Military and select foreign military awards for non-U.S. profiles are now being posted.
