Ah, alright. The source I read said Missouri National Guard or something of the sort.

Missouri Army National Guard. In France. It is not like the US had a major standing army back then.

I would contend that we have not had a President who "served" in WWI.

Eisenhower did state-side logistics and planning, Truman fought in 1917 and 1918.

No, July 1918 to the armistice.


Well, considering that the US only entered the war in 1917, that one needed time to mobilise, train, and bring the troops to Europe, this is about how long you can expect an American to serve in WWI. In any case, Truman, unquestionably, was a combat veteran.
