Presidential Trivia Answers (Dec. 1 & 2)

Thanks for playing!

For those who saw the presidential trivia questions earlier:

(1) QUESTION: Which President(s) have been injured in action while serving in the military and were thus awarded a Purple Heart?

ANSWER: JFK. He received the Purple Heart for injuries suffered while commanding a PT-109. He was the naval officer commanding the boat when it was rammed by a Japanese destroyer in August 1943.

(2) QUESTION: Which President(s) have received a Distinguished Flying Cross?

ANSWER: George H.W. Bush. He was flying a WWII mission in a torpedo bomber when he was hit. Unfazed by the flames engulfing his plane, he finished his bombing run before turning out to sea. Once there, he kept the plane aloft for as long as he could, attempting to give his crew time to escape.

(3) QUESTION: Which President(s) have received the Medal of Honor?

ANSWER: Theodore Roosevelt. He received the Medal for his charge up San Juan Heights during the Spanish-American War, although the Medal was not awarded until 2001.

P.S. I'm so sorry I'm late!!!! To be honest, I forgot that I hadn't scheduled the answers to run at 3:00 CT like normal. (I usually schedule the questions and answers at the same time, but I was in a hurry yesterday, so I did just questions.) Oops. My bad.
