I went off the official bios at the White House. Didn't list Reagan's service, but I knew about it from a biography. Since his service was missing, other's may be. Any help appreciated. Also, I only knew of three that were definitely in the Guard. For his purposes, I didn't see the meed to separate, but maybe for clarity it's not a bad idea. |
