I have been watching The Longest Day on DVD and noted that Henry Fonda plays the son of Theodore Roosevelt. Such courage landing on Utah Beach with his men when he could have stayed afloat where it was relatively save. He died it looks from a heart attack a few weeks after that.

Roosevelt's son, Quentin, ironically also landed in Normandy on D-Day
