Theodor Geisel (Dr. Suess)
Dr. Seuss volunteered in the U.S. Army right in the middle of his prolific writing career. He wrote satirical cartoons about Hitler and Charles Lindbergh. Who would have thought one of the most famous children's authors had a history making cracks at some of the evilest wartime leaders?
Willie Nelson
Country singer Willie Nelson was once in the U.S. Air Force. He served for nine months but was medically discharged. Despite only lasting a short while in the service, he did say he learned a lot of lessons the way. Some of those even inspired his music.
