On October 14, 1912, an unemployed saloonkeeper shot former president and Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt outside a Milwaukee hotel. Rather than being rushed to the hospital, Roosevelt insisted on delivering his scheduled 90-minute speech. By slowing the bullet, those lengthy prepared remarks may actually have saved his life.
Actually gave his speech instead of seeking treatment. Imagine how tough he was in battle during WW1 and The Spanish American War. I know he was highly decorated and highly reveered by the men under his command. Yes, Octavia he was a game hunter (something I oppose) but first and fore most, he was a patriot.
