Celebrities Who Served In The Military – Some Of Them Should Be Considered National Heroes!

Glenn Miller – Air Force

In the late ‘30s and early ‘40s, Glenn Miller was one of the best-selling performers, scoring, even more, hits than Elvis Presley. However, at 38, when his career was at its peak, Miller decided to join the Army. At first, he got rejected by the Navy for being too old, but after some convincing, he became a part of Army Air Force in 1942. Miller established an Army band which would later count even 50 pieces, and he traveled and played for the soldiers, giving approximately 800 performances in total. Unfortunately, in 1944, while flying to France to perform in front of the US troops there, Miller’s airplane disappeared and the actor was never seen again. His tragic disappearance raised so many questions, including those about his last will, and even savings account balance.
