During the war, although both of his brothers were in the U. S. Navy, John served in the United States Army. He arrived in England in 1943 and trained for the D-Day assault as part of Company F, 156th Infantry Regiment. Luck was with him, however, and he was assigned to guard senior Generals Eisenhower, Bradley, and others at Bushy Park, the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Force.

Following D-Day, Company F moved to the continent, continuing to guard General Eisenhower and other allied commanders and dignitaries for the duration of the war. Among those he protected were Prime Minister Winston Churchill, General Patton, General Smith, Field Marshall Brooks, and the allied entourage at the little red school house in Rheims, France, where the Peace in Europe accords were signed. After 28 months overseas, with service in Canada, Scotland, England, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany, John Slover was honorably discharged in December, 1945.
