Teddy Roosevelt Jr Said Start the War From Here

Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., age 56 with a heart condition, was the only general officer to land with the first wave on D-Day. Carrying a walking stick, he landed on Utah Beach 2,000 yards off course. Rather than relocate thousands of incoming troops, he chose to attack from the wrong beach, walking for hours directing waves under fire. He died of a heart attack in France 36 days later and received the Medal of Honor.
