Roosevelt was the only general on D-Day to land by sea with the first wave of troops. At 56, he was the oldest man in the invasion, and the only one whose son also landed that day; Captain Quentin Roosevelt II was among the first wave of soldiers at Omaha Beach.
General Roosevelt, whose leadership played a key role in the successful Allied landing at Utah Beach, earned the Medal of Honor (an honor his father would later receive posthumously). Ted’s son, Quentin II, also participated in the Allied landing at Normandy, making Ted and Quentin II the only father and son team to participate in the assault.
