My first guess is Patton but I reserve the right to come back with another guess!
My second guess is Teddy Roosevelt, III. This is after doing some research and not having a great deal of success.
Congratulations, Jane!!
Yes it's Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. His son, Quentin Roosevelt was elsewhere on the beaches at Normandy.
Well, I will have to confess I did some research to find the answer. I found it very interesting to read about Teddy. Keep the trivia coming...it is so much fun!
