It looks like the Tunnel King to me too.

Beat me to it.
Same guess, and that was the 1915 "Class the Stars Fell On".

Ooooooo....a dimond in the rough.
Very good 112th. That is indeed General Omar Bradly and those men on the West Point Basball team did wear stars.
Okay....give this one a shot.

Another West Pointer
This LTG passed away earlier this year. RIP, General.
His son earned fame during the Gulf War, and also retired as a General before continuing in public service. He was the central figure in a notorious incident on the grounds of a landmark building in Washington D.C.

Still working on yours. At first I thought it was Hugh Hefner, but I don't think he went Airborne.

No....but it is around the same time frame as TR.
Here's a hint...his son went on to a famous career in the Military too. In fact the two of them walked in the same AO's, at different times in their careers.

Stormin Senior?
WM - T Roosevelt was my first guess too. However, the facial features were not even close to matching any pics I could find of Teddy.
Based on the hint provided by SDiver. I would guess that is Gen Norman Schwarzkopf's papa.
