Prez. Shot at Major military Action

Lincoln No? Yes

Actually, Lincoln was a Mexican War veteran, and I can assure you that
John Wilkes Booth did shoot at him.

Lincoln was the last President of the United States to directly observe a
"battle"

(Fort Stevens) it spawned a famous incident

It was here that the president's distinctive top hat became a likely
target for Confederate sharpshooters as he peered over the breastworks.
Colonel Holmes was said to have minced few words with Lincoln when he
pulled him down and barked, "Get down, you fool!"
