General Teddy Roosevelt, 56 years old, was on the USS Barnett.
My Uncle Don Wells was an Ensign on the USS Barnett. It was the first to land troops. He spoke of delivering General Teddy Roosevelt to the beach who commanded the landings from the beach with no concern for his safety. Evidently, the Barnett then went to Italy, and then on to the Pacific. He never said what he did in the Pacific. As for what happened at Normandy he did not talk about it even to his kids, only telling me that it was "Hell."
Suge-o!
