Dwight D. Eisenhower
After he graduated from West Point in 1915, the young U.S. Army Second Lieutenant Dwight D. Eisenhower won a Distinguished Service Medal for his impeccable service in the United States during WWI. As he was deeply disappointed he didn’t go to battle in WWI, he rapidly advanced his military career right after America entered World War II.
After he served as Commanding General, in the European Theater of Operations, he was also named the Supreme Commander Allied Expeditionary Force of the North African Theater of Operations.
He had been seen multiple times commanding his own troops at the front, managing to drive the Axis forces out of North Africa and leading the entire U.S. invasion of the Axis in Sicily in less than a year.
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
