Well, I must say that I only know of five branches of the U.S. military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard), but the President is commander-in-chief of all of them. If you include the National Guard as a branch of the military, then the President becomes commander-in-chief of them when they are called into federal service.

Roosevelt was the president during World War II, so in that sense he served his country. If you mean in the sense of military service, he did not. Roosevelt had polio, which would have made him unfit for military service as he spent most of his time in a wheelchair. He was also, as the president, the civilian commander in chief of the military and therefore unable to serve.
