​On tomorrow's date, July 2, in 1898, a key US Army victory in the Spanish-American War occurred.  Amazingly, when the war began, Theodore Roosevelt quit his job as the Assistant Secretary of Navy and led of group of volunteer soldiers known as the 'Rough Riders' into battle.  During the Battle of San Juan Hill, the bloodiest and most famous battle of the Spanish-American War, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt led the Rough Riders, to victory.    For his actions during this battle, Colonel Roosevelt was posthumously decorated. in 2001, with the Medal of Honor.  He's the only President to have ever received the Medal of Honor.
Interestingly, Theodore Jr., Roosevelt's son, served in both world wars and was also decorated with the Medal of Honor.
