Theodore Roosevelt Jr: A Life Through Time (1887-1944)

For the 80th Anniversary of D-Day I thought I'd explore the life of Theodore Roosevelt Jr. He was the oldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt & led the assault on Utah Beach during D-Day. In February 1944, Roosevelt was assigned to England to help lead the Normandy invasion and appointed Deputy Division Commander of the 4th Infantry Division. He died a month after the invasion and was posthumously awarded the medal of honour.

....I still think your RAF airfields from the present to WW2 and back again are the best, especially poignant with D Day now 80 years ago.... lest we forget.
