THEODORE ROOSEVELT 26TH USA PRESIDENT 8 X 10 GLOSSY PHOTO

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) was the 26TH US President (1901–1909). He is noted for his exuberant personality, range of interests and achievements, leadership of the Progressive Movvement, and his "cowboy" image and robust masculinity. He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the short-lived Progressive "Bull Moose Movement".  Roosevelt's achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician. 

Born to a wealthy family in New York City, NY.  After leaving office, he embarked on a safari to Africa and a tour of Europe. On his return to the US, a bitter rift developed between Roosevelt and his anointed successor as president, William Howard Taft.  After the election, Roosevelt embarked on a major expedition to South America the river on which he traveled now bears his name. He contracted malaria on the trip, which damaged his health, and he died a few years later, at the age of 60. Roosevelt has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest US Presidents.

Roosevelt's 1901 saying "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick" is still quoted by politicians and columnists in different countries—not only in English but also in translation to various other languages. 

Roosevelt was included with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln at the Mount Rushmore Memorial, designed in 1927 with the approval of Republican President Calvin Coolidge.

For his gallantry at San Juan Hill, Roosevelt's commanders recommended him for the Medal of Honor. In the late 1990s, Roosevelt's supporters again took up the flag for him. On January 16, 2001, President Bill Clinton awarded Theodore Roosevelt the Medal of Honor posthumously for his charge up San Juan Hill, Cuba, during the Spanish-American War. Roosevelt's eldest son, Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., received the Medal of Honor for heroism at the Battle of Normandy in 1944. The Roosevelts thus became one of only two father-son pairs to receive this honor (the other pair being Arthur and Douglas MacArthur).  WIKIPEDIA, 2011.
