Teddy Roosevelt – 1 oz (Colonel Roosevelt) Imagine this: your country goes to war, and you’re one of the guys in charge—US Navy Secretary. You’ve got a cushy office, and when you make decisions, people live or die because of them. But you say, ‘nooope. I wanna be on the front lines. I wanna live or die beside my countrymen.’ Now how many of us are making that decision? Furthermore, you know you’ve gotta have a team to watch your back while you’re fighting the good fight. So you go to your boss and tell him that you know the rowdiest, toughest group of sons of the Dakota Badlands he’ll ever meet and you’re gonna take them across seas and put up a fight unlike any he’s ever seen. And maybe he’s just over trying to tell you what to do, but he agrees to let you go. Teddy Roosevelt – 2 oz (First in War…First in Peace…First in the Hearts of His Countrymen) So you do! You call up your college buddies, your Badlands bros, your ex-Texas Rangers, and you take 'em with you to war. And you don’t just gather them; you lead them, alongside one of your most trusted friends. You leave the planning up to him, but when you see your enemies coming, you’re the first one in line to meet them. You and your battle charger, Texas, are unstoppable. Bullets are whizzing past your ears, men are dropping around you, but you and your Rough Riders aren’t going anywhere but forward. Cannons bellow, hoofs pound the blood-slick battleground, screams from the wounded try to distract your progress. But all you can think about is protecting the men who came to fight alongside you, defending the people you left behind, and dodging death while laughing in its face. It’s horrible. And it’s the greatest day of your life. Teddy Roosevelt – 5 oz Not all of us could stomach what Theodore Roosevelt could. He was a character in American history that stands out because of his unbridled bravery in the face of danger. He knew what he believed and he lived his truth through action and discipline. He came home from war a hero, and it launched him into the White House. He spent the next term and a half making changes with a strong voice and his legendary metaphorical ‘big stick’. But it wasn’t as much what he did with his office that earned him a name among the most-loved U.S. Presidents, but the unwavering passion he brought with him, and the rocky trail he climbed to do so. Through sickness, loss, grief, and hardship, Teddy was a titan who stood before bullies, boxers, and bears, and he did what he believed was right, damn the consequences. To be like Teddy, have conviction through conflict, and plant yourself in the way of injustice with a smile…and a big stick. Theodore Roosevelt… An American Icon… An American Hero… An American Life.
