Presidential Sons in Normandy?

Question

Please read the following carefully, as it is a multiple-answer question.

Two US presidents had sons who were in Normandy during Operation Overlord.

Please tell me:
1. The name of each president.
2. The name of each of the presidential sons.
3. The rank of each of the presidential sons while they were there in 1944.
4. Finally, which presidential son got there (to Normandy) first.

Thanks!

(BTW, this is not homework. I know the answers. It's just light WWII D-Day trivia.)

Answer 1

Theodore "Ted" Roosevelt Jr. led the first assault at Normandy as a Brigadier General at Utah Beach on 6 June 1944. He got a Congressional Medal for that.

Colonel Elliot Roosevelt was an Army photo reconnaissance pilot and played an important role during D-Day, flying a large part of the aerial mapping missions of the Normandy coast _before_ invasion.

Answer 2

Thienen's answer is correct,
Slightly off topic, ekil422 forgot about General Cota of the 29th infantry divsion, who also landed at Normandy during the invasion.

Also, after the invasion - by a few days - Eisenhower (future President) and his son, a Lt. fresh from OCS, visited each other on the beaches before the younger officer had to report to his first post.....

Answer 3

Van Thienen's answer is correct. Ted Roosevelt's story is very interesting. He was the only General to land at Normandy and his action brought a Medal of Honor citation. And, from Wikipedia, "One month after the landing at Utah Beach, he died of a heart attack in France. He is buried at the American cemetery in Normandy next to his brother, Lt. Quentin Roosevelt. (Quentin had been killed in France during World War I and buried at Chamery, but was exhumed and moved to the Normandy Cemetery.) When Ted Roosevelt died, he had already been selected by Eisenhower for promotion to Major General and command of the 90th Infantry Division."
