He was supposed to land on Utah Beach but was dropped off erroneously. He famously stated, " we'll start the war from here". He also was given the Medal of Honor. Your coverage lacks a lot.

The "We'll follow the old man" song from WHITE CHRISTMAS could apply to him.

How many politicians would put their own children on the front line today?? All far too busy with nepotism and government contracts.

During WW1 the Germans tried to propagandize the death of Quentin by saying that the US is so desperate to win even the sons of presidents are being forced to fight. Instead what happened was it caused outrage that the German politicians were keeping their own sons out of the war instead of sending them to fight like the rest of the worlds politicians
