Dwight David Eisenhower. Commanded American forces in North Africa and Sicily before moving his HQ to England and becoming commander of the Invasion of France. Allied commander from D-Day to the end of the war.John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Flunked out of Harvard, so his powerful father pulled strings and had John made an ensign in the US Navy so John could serve as an assistant Naval aide to his father who was Ambassador to Great Britain. Rumors of John's womanizing there reached J. Edgar Hoover, who detested the father. Hoover maneuvered to have Kennedy assigned to a backwater of the war, as a Patrol Torpedo Boat commander in the Solomon Islands of the southwest Pacific. There Kennedy's boat was idling one dark night along a Japanese supply route looking for Japanese ships, when a Japanese destroyer running without lights suddenly loomed out of the darkness and ran over Kennedy's boat, cutting it in two. Kennedy demonstrated great leadership in the next few days eventually leading the survivors to safety.

Wears a miniature Silver Star lapel pin throughout his presidency to remind everyone what a big hero he was.Richard Milhouse Nixon. Served as a Navy personnel and supply officer, saw no action.
