His famous father, who died in 1919, would have expected nothing less of him, and would have been so proud.

Teddy was one heck of a man.

I met Kermit Roosevelt at a barbecue in Meeker Co in the 50's. I was just a spit of a kid, but I did know who he was and his family. My only connection to the past.

Must have been Kermit Jr, Kermit Sr committed suicide in 1943. Jr. appears to have been a pretty colorful guy too.

I have always thought Teddy Roosevelt was one of our finest presidents; especially in contrast to what we have suffered under in the last dozen years. Different times make different men, I suppose. Ted Jr. was truly a fine man as well and it is a shame he was taken so early. On the other hand, he certainly had nothing more to prove. These men were worthy of admiration and emulation. GD

He had lots money and fame, but all he wanted was to serve our country to his best abilities. Folks like him are few and far between.

Thanks for sharing. Seeing that photo of TR jr next to Gen Patton reminds me of how much George C Scott looked like Gen Patton.
