Buffalo World War I hero William "Wild Bill" Donovan organized the U.S. Military Intelligence during World War II and became the father of our present-day C.I.A.
During World War II's D-DAY landing, the only general officer to land with the troops was Oyster Bay's General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (the son of President Theodore Roosevelt). His Medal of Honor was a posthumous award as he when he died of a heart attack 6 days after the landing. Previously during World War I Roosevelt had earned both the DSC and the DSM for his heroism and leadership.
Native Son Francis Curry of World War II is the subject of a collector's edition G.I. Joe Doll that can still be found in some stores.
Roger Donlon of Saugerties was the FIRST Medal of Honor recipient of the Vietnam War, and Bob O'Malley was the first Marine to survive to wear a Vietnam War Medal of Honor.
