Theodore Roosevelt's Medal of Honor was not taken away. There were discussions in 1912 about revoking the honor due to concerns over whether his actions during the Battle of San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War warranted it, but no action was taken and his medal remained intact until his death in 1919.

Who was the famous old west legend awarded the Medal of Honor taken away in 1917?
I believe it was Buffalo Bill Cody, who was awarded the Medal of Honor as an Indian Scout for the US Army in the late 1800's. FYI, it wasn't a "personal" thing. Hundreds of people were removed as recipients of the medal in a review done in 1917. Because the MOH was the only medal the US awarded (til the very end of WWI), many awards were felt to have been awarded carelessly, and were ordered surrendered by the recipient.
