Theodore Roosevelt 26th president (30 jan 1858 ano – 3 maio 1919 ano)
Descrição:
While delivering a speech, Roosevelt was shot and had this to say about it: “I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot. I give you my word, I do not care a rap about being shot; not a rap!” He finished his hour and a half speech with a bullet lodged in his chest.
In short, the dude was pretty great and worthy of having said greatness commemorated. A toy maker did just that by producing “Teddy Bears” in his honor, after news got out that Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear cub on a hunting trip.
