Patrick Daniel Tillman, Jr. (November 6, 1976 – April 22, 2004) was an American football player who left his professional sports career and enlisted in the United States Army in May 2002 ([1]). He served in Iraq and later in Afghanistan, where he was killed. Reports in the media of his death and the background of his sacrifice symbolized a heroic image in the minds of many Americans.
Subsequently, Tillman's death became a national controversy after the Pentagon disclosed to the Tillman family over a month after his death, on May 28, 2004, that he died as a result of a friendly fire incident. The family and other critics allege that the Pentagon delayed the disclosure for weeks after Tillman's memorial service out of a desire to protect the image of the U.S. armed forces ([2], [3]).

Sorry the only one that comes to mind is Pat Tillman.
He turned down 3.6 million dollar contract with the NFL to join the Army. He became a US Army Ranger was killed in Afghanistan in April 2004.
His brother is also a US Ranger & his family is very supportive of military. No one was surprised when he joined.
The Hollywood crowd & even Nashville seem to be all talk & no action.

Here is a link to Many famous people that served in the military. I know you were looking for all military in general but this is the only the first world war. Hope this helps some.

Gene Hackman,Lee Marvin,"Mr, Rogers",Lee Ermie were all in the Marines, just to name a few. It seems most of the younger people in the spotlight are not very patriotic.
