Who Was the Oldest Man at D-Day? The Untold Story of Theodore Roosevelt Jr. - Our American Stories

On this episode of Our American Stories, armed with only a walking cane and a pistol, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., the son of the former president, stormed the beaches of Normandy at an age when most men were thinking about retirement. He had a lot to live up to, and despite his privileged upbringing, he succeeded in making a name for himself much like his father. Craig Du Mez, president of the Grateful Nation Project, shares the story of the only son of a U.S. president to receive the Medal of Honor.
