Theodore Roosevelt, posthumously received the Medal of Honor from President Clinton. Clinton described in glowing terms the former president who, as a lieutenant colonel in the Spanish-American War, led his men up a Cuban hill and "changed the course of the battle and the Spanish-American War.''

The Roosevelt family donated the award back to the White House. It will be displayed in the Roosevelt Room along with Theodore Roosevelt's Nobel Peace Prize, which he was awarded in 1906 for his role in settling the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 with a treaty signed Sept. 5, 1905, in Portsmouth, N.H. Theodore Roosevelt is the only President of the United States to ever win the Medal of Honor. He also becomes the only person to hold both the Medal of Honor and the Nobel Peace Prize.

The President's son, Brig. General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. also received the Medal of Honor posthumously for his service in D-day during WWII. He is the only president's son to win the Medal of Honor.
