Prior to the war, Roosevelt served as an officer with the New York National Guard before becoming Secretary of the Navy. His son Theodore Jr. was among the first troops ashore at Utah Beach during the Normandy Invasion. Theodore was awarded the Medal of Honor and his father was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2001, having been nominated for his actions at San Juan Hill during the war.

My grandfather was in Cuba with Teddy Roosevelt.
My grandfather was in the band that played when they stormed San Juan Hill.
That was probably the last time our forces went into battle to the accompaniment of music from a band.
