George Washington
If it wasn’t for George Washington’s military skills and heroism, I think it’s fair to say that America would still be a British colony. He had one of the longest military careers of any other president or elected federal official, for that matter.
He fought in the French and Indian Wars back in 1754. And when the American Revolution was initiated in 1765, Washington returned to his military background, after accepting a role as General and Commander in Chief of the Continental Army.
Also, in 1794, a 62-year-old Washington would be the first and only sitting president of the United States, leading the troops into battle to end the Whiskey Rebellion. He rode his horse through the Pennsylvania countryside, warning locals not to help or give any comfort to the insurgents.
Grant was a drunk who should have never had command of a boy scout troop.
What about President George W. Bush ?
There were a few more. Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, William Henry Harrison, James Monroe, Franklin Pierce, and George Bush. (Who was not shot down during the battle of Midway, but later on in the war flying over one of the islands in the Iwo Jima chain).
This is Theodore, thank you for correcting.
Jimmy Carter was in the Submarine Service, you dont get any braver than that!
What about George Bush the fighter pilot shot down twice?
You forgot George H.W. Bush that served as a Navy Pilot in WWII.
This is not Theodore Roosevelt, this is Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was President from 1933 until hill his death in April 1945.
I have posted this comment 2 or 3 times already, but it doesn’t seem to show up.
This is not Theodore Roosevelt. This is his distant cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, FDR, our longest serving president. , elected in 1932. 1936,1940 and 1944. He died in office in April of 1945, did not live to see the end of WW!!. Historians usually agree he was one of our three greatest, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and FDR. I was born in 1931, he was the only President I knew for many years.
THATS FDR NOT TEDDY ROOSEVELT! OMG
