Ulysses S. Grant
Even if President Ulysses S. Grant was known to have served in the Mexican-American War, his greatest military achievement by far was the fact that he kept the United States together. During his years as General of the U.S.
Army, Grant managed to overcome a couple of battlefield setbacks to defeat the well-known Confederate Army in the battle of the Civil War and restore the Union. He is definitely one of the most legendary generals in entire U.S. history.
As he was first elected in 1868, Ulysses S. Grant would end up serving two terms as president, during which he dedicated his efforts to healing a nation that was divided during the post-Civil War Reconstruction period.
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
