Well the answer is: They are all recipients of foreign military (and civilian) medals and awards. For instance, both Patton and Eisenhower recieved the French Legion of Honour and are members of the British Order of the Bath.

Kind of a weird one...but...

Where is this prohibited in the Constitution? If so, you'd have to add a lot more to that, such heroic men as Audie Murphy and Alvin York, for example.
