🇺🇸 Quentin Roosevelt is the ONLY WWI soldier in the entire Normandy cemetery.
BG Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in France of a heart attack in July 1944 and was laid to rest there.
At the family’s request, his younger brother Quentin, who was killed in WWI aerial combat in 1918, was exhumed and reburied right beside him.
🇺🇸 The Roosevelts had the ONLY father-son duo that stormed D-Day together
BG Theodore Roosevelt Jr. hit Utah Beach in the first wave at age 56.
Captain Quentin Roosevelt II stormed Omaha Beach on the first wave under fire at age 24.
No other father and son duo fought on D-Day.
Quentin was named after his Uncle who died in WWI.
Pure Roosevelt steel 💪🇺🇸
