Notes	During her husband's service as Governor of Puerto Rico and Governor-General of the Philippines, she served during three years as First Lady of Puerto Rico (1929-1932) and the Philippines (1932-1933). Throughout her life Eleanor Alexander not only supported "Ted" Roosevelt (the only general officer to land in the first wave on D-Day) in his career, but also proved a highly organized, socially conscious person in her own right. She helped improve the conditions of Puerto Rican women while her husband was governor of the island (1929-31); she organized the first American women's committee for China Relief (1937); and she directed the American Red Cross Club in England (1942). Eleanor received citations and commendations from, among others, the French government, Gen. John J. Pershing, and the U.S. War Department. She also wrote a fascinating account of her life in her memoirs, Day Before Yesterday. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Butler_Alexander-Roosevelt
