Ted Jr. himself survived the D-Day landing, but died in France five weeks later— on July 12, 1944—from a heart attack. He was awarded the Medal of Honor, and later so was his father, President Roosevelt. They, along with Arthur and Douglas McArthur, became the only father and sons to ever both win a Medal of Honor. Ted Jr. is buried in Colleville-sur-Mer, France, alongside his younger brother, Quentin.
