What were the names of the rough riders who stormed San Juan hill with Teddy Roosevelt?
It was Theodore Roosevelt who commanded the Regiment at that time since Colonel Leonard Wood had been promoted to Brigadier General in command of the Cavalry Brigade which included the 9th and 10th Regiments as well as the Rough Riders. The 9th and 10th had already done the heavy lifting of the day by taking Kettle Hill and joined the Rough Riders for the charge up San Juan Hill. Little mention is made of the fact that Buffalo Soldiers were there, but the photographic evidence doesn't lie on that count. Frederic Remington's painting of the charge is lilly white, but the group photo taken at the top tells a much different story.

What is the symbolism of a switchblade tattoo?
What symbols register in your mind if you saw a switchblade??? For me it's living life in the fastlane, being the tough guy, or simply don't mess with me..and how it's used in the design may make it a different meaning. As in the switchblade and brass knuckles with a ribbon saying "Love Thy Neighbor" could mean the 'Jungian thing, the duality of man' to quote "Full Metal Jacket" gee

Why did Theodore resign as assistant of the navy?
He resigned as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to fight in the Spanish-American War. The reasons are complicated, but may be reasonably simplified as a quest for glory (for himself, and for himself in the public eye), and as an honorable duty for him. All his life, he had pushed himself to overcome physical weakness as a child, and had done everything short of military combat. The experience worked out well for him as he got the fame and popularity that propelled much of his political career thereafter.
