Senator Tim Johnson has a son who is with the 101 Airborn.
Rep. John Kline, R-Minn.
Republican Reps. Todd Akin of Missouri, Duncan Hunter of California, Marilyn Musgrave of Colorado, Ed Schrock of Virginia and Joe Wilson of South Carolina.
Those are the only ones I could find after 1 minute of looking.

Plenty of Republicans served in the military, in case you didn't know.

Been answered many times and to keep asking it is just a pain; research the question. Off the top of my head Hunter from California has a son that has pulled at least two tours in Iraq. Since the military does not release the names of all the people sent to Iraq, for good reason, it is really hard to judge but the last information I had seem was a percentage breakdown and not by name which reflects a higher percent of Congressional ad White House personnel having children or grandchildren in Iraq then the population as a whole.

Senator Jim Webbs son joined the Marine Corps after a trip to Iraq with his dad in 2005. He has served in Iraq, but he's back home. Jim Webb is a Democrat Senator from Virginia.
When Jim Webb was campaigning for office, his son was in Iraq, and he wore his boots in honor of his son. I forgot to add that Jim Webb was in the Marine Corps in Vietnam.

Senator Jim Webb D VA has a son Jimmy who is a Marine Lance Cpl who recently returned from a . Jim was a marine Platoon leader in Vietnam. You may recall Sean Hanitty trying to Swift Boat him last year. A Navy Cross, Silver star, 2 bronze stars and two purple hearts never got in the way of a NeoCon labeling someone a coward.
Joe Biden's son is scheduled for deployment after the first of the year.

That information is readily available on line. Get off your duff and do your own research.
There are MANY. Not just FEDERAL but also STATE, COUNTY and LOCAL government officials have family serving in the U.S. MILITARY.
Why aren't YOU?

I think John McCain's son is either deployed or set to be deployed. There were about Iraqi Vaets who ran for Congress last cycle. 10 democrats and 2 republicans. Republicans generally do not serve in the military. They have more important priorities like Cheney

There are a few Congressmen with children in Iraq. Remembering thier names is the hard part.

Yep. I do (know). And, as for Vietnam, Adm. Zumwalt's son was there (and died of Agent Orange). There were lots, and are lots. But why advertise? So they can become a target, or a political pawn?
