Theodore Roosevelt(s)

Naturally I've always detested FDR, but I also never really cared much for Teddy. You know, a "progressive" and all that. Still, I have to admit that he AND HIS DESCENDANTS weren't pussies:
First, the Pres:
We all know he fought in the Spanish-American war. As President, he was shot, finished his speech...and then the doctors left the bullet in him.
Ted Jr.:
Fought in WWI. In WWII, he was in the first wave on Utah beach on D-Day...the only General in the first wave. He was crippled from the first war, but went anyway. Awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions that day. Died a few weeks later of a heart condition.
Ted III:
Naval Aviator in WWII.
Ted IV:
Navy Seal in Vietnam.
