Lieut.-Col. Harold Evans Hartney
Harold Evans Hartney (April 19, 1888 - October 5, 1947) was a Canadian-born World War I flying ace with the United States Army Air Service, credited with seven confirmed and one unconfirmed aerial victories. He was awarded the American Distinguished Service Cross in 1919. He became a member of the bar of the District of Columbia and was a practicing attorney there for several years before becoming a journalist. He died at the age of 59 in 1947. Theodore “Ted” Roosevelt III (September 13, 1887 - July 12, 1944), known as Theodore Jr., was an American government, business and military leader. He was the eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt and First Lady Edith Roosevelt. He was instrumental in the forming of the American Legion in 1919 following his valiant service in the United States Army during World War I. Returning to the Army in 1940, he led the first wave of troops at Utah Beach during the Normandy landings in 1944, earning the Medal of Honor for his command. He died in France 36 days later, holding the rank of Brigadier General.
