At his death Colonel Roosevelt carried in his body the bullet which was fired by Schrank, at Milwaukee during the Presidential campaign of 1912, which nearly resulted in Colonel Roosevelt's death, because he went on and delivered his speech immediately after the attack.

High speed, low drag. A tough man and arguably America's greatest President.

While he was President. His selfish and egotistical third-party run gave the country the disastrous Woodrow Wilson.

High speed, low drag, low maintenance. Brave, strong, and honest.

All of TR's children grew up and where a credit to him. It is interesting to compare his family with the children of FDR. They were a pretty troubled lot. I think FDR's kids got little parental attention where as Teddy was very involved with his children's lives in spite of his busy schedule
