Very sad news about General Theodore Roosevelt. He was a real fighter.

Sort of ignominious, Admiral Nagumo’s death, although not by their standards, of course. Very Klingon.

General Theodore Roosevelt and his father Teddy both received the Congressional Medal of Honor. Only one other father son combo has ever achieved that, Arthur and Douglas MacArthur. However, that one is, in my opinion, a lesser achievement since Douglas MacArthur received the CMH for his failure to defend the Philippines and it was more of a political move to boost moral than it was a tribute to his performance.
