Quentin Roosevelt (November 19, 1897 – July 14, 1918) was the youngest son of President Theodore Roosevelt. Family and friends agreed that Quentin had many of his father's positive qualities and few of the negative ones. Inspired by his father and siblings, he joined the United States Army Air Service where he became a pursuit pilot during World War I. Extremely popular with his fellow pilots and known for being daring, he was killed in aerial combat over France on Bastille Day (July 14), 1918.

SGT John " Mac " McConnell - Keep em coming. I love the reminders and many time the things I didn't know. I am a history guy and always try to apply lessons learned or marvel at the way we tend to revert and unlearn what we have done.
