Theodore Roosevelt Jr. - The only general on D-Day to land by sea with the first wave of troops. Italy, 17 January 1944


if that sounds familiar, it's possibly because I posted about the presidents and which ones had kids that went into the military  http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-last-kids-of-president-that-joined.html

  1. Amazing guy, rich Harvard grad, Presidents son, had been Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Governor of Puerto Rico and Governor-General of the Philippines. At 56 there is no way in hell he had to be in the first wave on Utah beach on D-Day. He was there because he had huge balls. Much respect, sir.
