What history says.

Quentin, his youngest, was a pilot in France in the First World War. He was killed in action on July 14, 1918, at 20, and German soldiers buried him where his plane fell, at Coulonges-Cohan. In 1955 he was reburied beside his oldest brother, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., in Normandy. The National Park Service counts him the only child of a United States president to die in combat.Quentin Roosevelt, National Park Service

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. landed at Utah Beach on June 6, 1944, "the oldest man and the only general to land in the first wave of the invasion", carrying a walking cane. He was awarded the Medal of Honor, and died of a heart attack in Normandy on July 12, 1944, at 56.Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library

Gaps in the record.

The FamilySearch Family Tree is built by the people who use it, and Theodore Roosevelt's has places nobody has filled yet. Eight generations back, 210 of the 254 places are filled. Most of the open ones are in Scotland in the 17th century, and in Ireland in the 17th century: if that's where you research, they're your question. If you know who they were, add them on FamilySearch, with a source, and the next person to look will find them.
