Continuing to the WWII era.

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.

Black Hawk War, not Mexican (he was a militia captain, and wasn't he
opposed to the Mexican War). But there was not exactly much in the
way of shooting, and I don't know (though perhaps I ought) if Lincoln
was actually ever under fire.

Lincoln was at Fort Stevens during the attack by Jubal Early. There is some
controversy about whether he actually stood in an exposed position.
