Good thing you restricted the time period to fifty years or so.  I don't think
that John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, or James Madison served in the US military.
Not sure about Wilson, Harding or Coolidge.  I don't think Roosevelt minor served
*in* the military, although IIRC he was Secretary of the Navy around WW I.

And note that the current president doffed his uniform a bit early.
