Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. -- the eldest son of the 26th President of the United States -- was the only Allied general to land on the beaches of Normandy with the first wave of soldiers during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944.

Crippled by arthritis, hobbled by old combat wounds from the First World War, and forced to use a cane as he landed on Utah Beach with the U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division on D-Day, General Roosevelt was the oldest man to take part in the opening stage of the invasion. He had made three requests to personally lead the assault on Utah Beach before finally being given command despite concerns about his health. During the confusion and chaos of the largest seaborne assault in human history, Roosevelt realized that tidal currents had carried nearly two dozen of the initial landing craft to the wrong location and was said to have announced, "We'll start the war from right here!"

For his actions on D-Day, General Roosevelt would be awarded the country's highest military decoration, the Congressional Medal of Honor, on September 21, 1944:

For gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty of 6 June 1944, in France. After two verbal requests to accompany the leading assault elements in the Normandy invasion had been denied, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt's written request for this mission was approved and he landed with the first wave of the forces assaulting the enemy-held beaches. He repeatedly led groups from the beach, over the seawall and established them inland. His valor, courage, and presence in the very front of the attack and his complete unconcern at being under heavy fire inspired the troops to heights of enthusiasm and self-sacrifice. Although the enemy had the beach under constant direct fire, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt moved from one locality to another, rallying men around him, directed and personally led them against the enemy. Under his seasoned, precise, calm, and unfaltering leadership, assault troops reduced beach strong points and rapidly moved inland with minimum casualties. He thus contributed substantially to the successful establishment of the beachhead in France.

However, the Medal of Honor would be awarded to Theodore Roosevelt Jr. posthumously. On July 12, 1944, thirty-six days after landing in Normandy on D-Day, General Roosevelt died in his sleep at the age of 56 after suffering a heart attack. In a letter to his wife, General George S. Patton would write, "Teddy R[oosevelt] died in his sleep last night. He had made three landings with the leading wave -- such is fate...He was one of the bravest men I ever knew." General Patton would join General Omar Bradley and numerous other generals as honorary pallbearers at Roosevelt's funeral. Roosevelt was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial along with thousands of his fellow American soldiers who died in Europe during World War II. He is buried next to his youngest brother, Quentin Roosevelt, who was killed in action in 1918 after being shot down over France during World War I.

Er war anders als alle anderen Mitglieder des Boone and Crockett Club, die sich üblicherweise für den Naturschutz engagierten. Sein Name taucht auch nicht in den Aufzeichnungen über nordamerikanische Trophäen auf, weil er nie dort gejagt hat. Siemel verfügte jedoch über eine besondere Fähigkeiten, die er in einer langen Lehrzeit im Dschungel des brasilianischen Bundesstaates Mato Grosso erworben…

September 6, 1907

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. is greeted by Theodore Bear Jr. on his visit to Duluth. The bear says "Hello Teddy! How's your pa?"

The caption reads "The son of the president is welcomed by the son of his old friend, Brer' Bear, on his arrival in Duluth."

The president's son was visiting Duluth on a hunting trip.

I don’t think we talk enough about Mr. President Theodore Roosevelt Jr. calling Bryan Denton “Denty”

what’s that about? 🤔

Welcome to Brando and the bears the podcast the Tumblr.

In 2014 JFK jr dragged a dead grizzly bear to the middle of Central Park to act as if it was hit by a bicycle. In 1854 Grizzly Adam saved a grizzly bear cub while also fighting for his life. He named the bear Ben. It saved him from a different grizzly later on. He then had a movie made about him and his pet bear. In 1884 Theodore Roosevelt shot a grizzly bear but did not kill it while hunting. Which is totally in line for the man. He got Teddy bears named after him because he refused to kill a bear. Though that bear was a black bear so it has nothing to do with us. In 1974 A&W Soda had a mascot called the "Great Root Bear" In 1982 all A&W restaurants were bought by A. Alfred Taubman.

Our podcast aims to answer questions that have long plagued humanity's mind.

What if the bear Roosevelt shot wanted revenge and then assassinated him? Would the other bears be mad because of his known anti-bear death thing? This would be a big hit to the bear community. Like they wouldn't have teddy bears anymore? Shame on you bear that killed Roosevelt. What if Grizzly didn't find a grizzly bear? Like what happens to the pun? What if the great root bear became popular instead of the Coca-Cola bear? Have you seen it? It's much better. And most importantly what if it was Marlon Brando who dropped the grizzly bear corpse in Central Park?

Come along with us through a journey of self-reflection about life and the meaning of it. All of course through the understanding of grizzly bears (not brown bears. Grizzly only) and famous movie star Marlon Brando.

I have no words that have not already been said about the men and women who embarked on this endeavor, but I still thank them. I thank them from a place very few will ever know.

“We’ll start the war from right here!”

Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., assistant division commander of the 4th Infantry Division, first wave on Utah Beach. He would die 5 weeks later from a heart attack at 56 yo.

"You get your ass on the beach. I'll be there waiting for you and I'll tell you what to do. There ain't anything in this plan that is going to go right."

Colonel Paul R. Goode, in a pre-attack briefing to the 175th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, Omaha Beach

Sorry, for these constant ranting about African and black American culture

It just sucks look at history as a black American at times. There no ancient kingdom or empire, like Han, Gupta, and Roman to call back to. No Mythos with great epics like Hellenism or Hinduism where I can see myself in.

No great warriors that might have shared your face and people use as inspiration in media. No great battle like the battle of Thermopylae for people recreate again and again

No great leaders like Alexander the Great, Ashoka the Great, Julius and Augustus Caesar that change the course of history

As soon as January and February ends, seemly everyone forgot your people history.

Will we be remember when mankind enter interstellar?

Sorry maybe my borderline suicidal depression kicking in. Despite all the diversity push, has black Americans done anything beyond fighting slavery and racism? So we still have to hijack other people history and pop culture? Are any of our stories worth being told by media?

Or are we nothing but a sad pitiful group? Ugh sorry for making you my therapist

It just sucks look at history as a black American at times. There no ancient kingdom or empire, like Han, Gupta, and Roman to call back to. No Mythos with great epics like Hellenism or Hinduism where I can see myself in.

Check the Nubians and southern kingdom of Egypt there were black Pharaohs and dynasties those are recorded and attested by non Egyptian sources.

As for the Mythos Rome took a bunch of them from conquered lands, much like Greece did, like Babylon and Assyria did, Egypt too, oh and Hindus did the same thing. Easier to keep a population happy if you point out how our gods and your gods are the same guys just with different names.

No great leaders like Alexander the Great, Ashoka the Great, Julius and Augustus Caesar that change the course of history.

They existed, we just don't have any records of who they were, nothing concrete at least, gotta decide for yourself how faithful the oral tradition is.

Or you can treat it like folklore, doesn't mean there's not some truth to it, exaggerated is all.

As soon as January and February ends, seemly everyone forgot your people history. Will we be remember when mankind enter interstellar?

No need to keep them separate, just because a skin colour isn't the focus doesn't mean people forget, stuff like the 'black national anthem' is divisive, it's bringing back segregation saying we have a different national anthem than you. No if you're Americans you've got the one, go start your own country if you want a different one.

Haiti looks like it's about to reset try there.

If you want some heroes that look like you, meet the Harlem Hellfighters

To our eternal shame the US wasn't in the business of giving medals to black soldiers in WW1 not so much in 2 either, France however was.

Sergent Johnson here managed a Coup De Gras for valor in the battle that got him named "The Black Death" it's always the black something isn't it, we back home finally rectified the travesty that had him overlooked for the Medal of Honor in 2015, he more than earned it, wish he could know how many people look up to him now.

I do hope he saw this after he got home at least, I'd have that on my wall lmao.

Legacy section of his Wikipedia page has lots of things on it, but this I think would be the thing I would be proudest of,

In 1919, co-founder of the American Legion Theodore Roosevelt Jr., son of former United States President Theodore Roosevelt, referred to Johnson as one of the "five bravest Americans" to have served in World War I.

One of the good Roosevelt's, and I'm gonna guess this got to him too, since he was still around.

You need a warrior here's one, he led and sacrificed, he's a good one to look up to, refused to let his buddy be taken captive at great personal risk after they'd fought of 12 Germans.

Need another group of warriors, we've got the Tuskegee Airmen.

Made a lot of white (fighter) pilots mad because they were that good at their job, white bomber crews loved them they saw the red taifin on the P-51 their hope for surviving the mission went way up, because they were that good at their job.

Look them up too if you haven't before, check out the movie "Red Tails" Black writers adapted a story by one of them about a damn fine group of pilots, I enjoyed the movie watched it a bunch of time when I was living in Florida because it was on one of the movie channels the hotel I was living in carried.

You've got warriors who fought great battles that you can look up to though, even more so because they knew what life was like back home and how they were treated and would be on their return, and they fought anyhow.

Admirable men worthy of being looked up to by anyone really. At least for this service which is what counts for me right now.

Will we be remember when mankind enter interstellar?

How could humanity forget these men, and so many other incredible human beings that worked for the betterment of humankind in their own ways? __________

As a aside, Max Brooks got together with a artist named Caanan White who I don't know anything about but they did a fictional graphic novel about the Harlem Hellfighters and it looks pretty dang cool, so you may want to look into that at some point too.

guys should I write down some ideas/headcanons for my Roosevelt animated tv show?

[deadpresidents]

So, sorry to bother but, are there absolutely any books you could recommend on Theodore Roosevelt? I plan to read The River Of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey, but have already read Mornings On Horseback + the entire Edmund Morris trilogy 1-3.

So outside of those books (+ A Bully Father, forgot to mention), are there any you could recommend? If not that's fine!

You're off to a great start! In my opinion, you've already checked off the best of the bunch with Edmund Morris's trilogy (The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt; Theodore Rex; and, Colonel Roosevelt). David McCullough's Mornings On Horseback would have been right at the top of my recommendations, as well. I'd also suggest picking up T.R.: The Last Romantic (BOOK | KINDLE) by H.W. Brands.

The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism (BOOK | KINDLE) by Doris Kearns Goodwin is excellent, and also explores the fascinating relationship between TR and his hand-picked successor (and eventual bitter rival during the 1912 campaign), William Howard Taft.

The relationship and rivalry between Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson during TR's post-Presidency and World War I is also a captivating subject and the focus of two other great books: The Warrior and the Priest: Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt by John Milton Cooper Jr., and TR's Last War: Theodore Roosevelt, the Great War, and a Journey of Triumph and Tragedy (BOOK | KINDLE) by David Pietrusza.

You mentioned that you're planning to read Candice Millard's The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey (BOOK | KINDLE) and that's definitely another book I would have suggested. PBS's American Experience also made a great documentary called Into the Amazon about that dangerous trip by Roosevelt. Another really good book about Theodore Roosevelt's post-Presidency and final years before his death is When Trumpets Call: Theodore Roosevelt After the White House (BOOK | KINDLE) by Patricia O'Toole.

There are scores of great books about TR because he was an endlessly fascinating character, so I'm undoubtedly forgetting to mention a bunch of books that I'd strongly recommend, but hopefully this helps. As I mentioned, I think the Edmund Morris trilogy is the definitive work on Roosevelt's life, so you've got a solid foundation already.

Robert Reed Church, Sr. (June 18, 1839 - August 29, 1912) was a millionaire business leader and philanthropist in Memphis. Born in Holly Springs, Mississippi. His father was a steamboat captain, Charles B. Church, and his mother, Emmeline, was an enslaved seamstress who died when he was twelve years old. He was forced to be a cabin steward on a Union steamer during the Civil War. He married former enslaved Louisa Ayres (1862). The couple had one child, Mary Eliza, who became a prominent civil rights and women’s rights advocate. He married Anna Wright (1885) and they had Robert, Jr. who followed into business and politics.

They settled in Memphis where they both became entrepreneurs. She opened a string of beauty parlors while he acquired a saloon and added to his holdings over the years, owning a restaurant and a downtown hotel. During the Memphis Race Riot of 1866, a white mob attacked his saloon, shot him, and left him for dead. He bought considerable real estate when property values were depressed.

He ran for office for the only time in his career when he campaigned unsuccessfully for a position on the Memphis Board of Public Works. He purchased a tract of land on Beale Street where he built an auditorium, landscaped the surrounding grounds, and called the venture Church’s Park and Auditorium, the first major urban recreational center in the nation owned by an African American. President Theodore Roosevelt spoke at the auditorium and on the surrounding grounds.
