Maj. Gen. William J. Worth -- for whom anything in this country with "Worth" in the name (e.g., Fort Worth) was named -- comes to mind at this time.
From his Wikipedia bio:
When the Mexican-American War began Worth was serving under Zachary Taylor in Texas and negotiated the surrender of the Mexican city of Matamoros. He next commanded the 2nd Regular Division, Army of Occupation at the Battle of Monterrey in September 1846. In 1847, Worth was transferred to his old friend Winfield Scott's army and placed in command of the 1st Division. During the amphibious landings at Veracruz he jumped from his boat in into shoulder deep water and waded ashore to become the first American to make an amphibious landing.Trump should ask Nieto if he can visit the Palace roof "for old times' sake."He took part in the Siege of Veracruz and engaged in the battles of Cerro Gordo, Contreras and Churubusco. In Mexico City Scott ordered Worth to seize the Mexican works at the Molino del Rey. . . . [Worth] next led his division against the San Cosme Gate at Mexico City. When U.S. forces entered Mexico City, Worth personally climbed to the roof of the National Palace and took down the Mexican flag replacing it with the Stars and Stripes.

Ha! This is why I love FR. It’s filled with some of the most historically literate and funny people.
