Which American President saw active service in both the first and second World Wars?

The only president who was in uniform during both World Wars was Eisenhower. But Eisenhower did not get overseas in the First World War; he spent most of the war training troops at Camp Colt, Pennsylvania, near Gettysburg. Eisenhower feared that his career as a professional army officer was irreparably harmed by this failure to get into combat in WWI.
Harry Truman was the only WWI combat vet ever to become president. During WWII he was a Senator from Missouri, Vice President, and Commander in Chief when he succeeded to the presidency after Franklin Roosevelt died only a few weeks before final victory.
Franklin Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary of the Navy during WWI, and Commander in Chief as president during all of US involvement in WWII until his death.
