Dear hisjag-ga,

    Anna Eleanor (1906?1975).
    James (1907?1991).
    Franklin Delano, Jr. (March to November 1909).
    Elliott (1910?1990),
    a second Franklin Delano, Jr. (1914?1988),
    John Aspinwall (1916?1981).

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (1906-1975), 
?She began working as a writer, a career she continued after her
second marriage to journalist John Boettiger in 1936. Together they
worked on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer until 1943 when Boettiger
went into the military and Anna returned to the White House as her
father's confidential assistant. She accompanied FDR to Yalta and
served as White House hostess during ER's absence. Anna also
facilitated Roosevelt's meetings with Lucy Mercer, which greatly
angered ER and briefly strained their relationship.?

the 2nd Raider Battalion of the Marine Raiders, an early US Marine
commando unit organized and trained to conduct guerrilla-style attacks
behind enemy lines. Eventually he retired at the rank of Brigadier
General, winning the Navy Cross and Silver Star in combat.?
