Genna Rollins provides a detailed description of the tour undertaken by a group from the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) in June 2007 to sites connected with the wartime service of Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt and Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt. Rollins highlights the military cemeteries and memorials connected to the Roosevelt brothers, and she traces the group’s itinerary through France, highlighting material gained from the group’s tour leader. Rollins emphasizes the service of the Roosevelt brothers, noting Lieutenant Roosevelt’s brief tour as a combat pilot and Brigadier General Roosevelt’s steady leadership on Utah Beach on June 6, 1944. Rollins concludes her article with brief stories of other notable Americans who served in World War I.
Two illustrations and sixteen photographs populate the article, including eight photographs of sites and memorials connected to the Roosevelt brothers, and five depictions of the brothers.
