Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt definitely had a busy life. He was the assistant secretary of the Navy when the almighty Spanish-American War was initiated in 1898, after which he resigned from the post to make the country’s first all-volunteer cavalry regimen, known as the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, also known as the Rough Riders.
He personally led their head-long charges, winning alongside his team of Rough Riders some of the most important victories, out of which it’s really worth mentioning the battles of Kettle Hill and San Juan Hill.
Then, Roosevelt became the governor of New York and later the Vice President of the United States, under William McKinley’s administration. When McKinley was brutally assassinated in 1901, Roosevelt became the President.
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
