Real life heroes who don’t care much about having a life insurance plan

Soldiers are seen as people motivated and driven by their love for their country and are rewarded for this devotion by a salary as well as military and veteran benefits. Celebrities on the other hand are considered financially successful with no need for or entitlement to military life insurance.
A deep look into the matter may however surprise you after finding out that quite a number of your famous celebrities actually served in the armed forces before their rise to fame. Here is a list of remarkable celebrities whose service to the country is worth remembering.
