JFK ADDRESS



Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower

January 20, 1953 – January 20, 1961

Died March 28, 1969

[Interesting fact:  He went out like a general, commanding his troops and in complete control. He ordered the doctors and nurses attending him to lower the shades and pull him up to a sitting position in bed. Then holding Mamie's hand, Eisenhower looked at his son, John, and grandson, David, and softly issued his final order, "I want to go; God take me." With these words, he died.

James Abram Garfield

Abraham Lincoln

Gettysburg Address as recited by Jeff Daniels


Footnote:  

Richard M Nixon

January 20, 1969 – August 9, 1974

He also served as 36th vice president from 1953 to 1961

Involved in the Watergate Scandal that caused Richard Nixon to resign as President August 9, 1974. This “scandal” pales in contrast to what the Demoncrats have done since, and their push to socialize the government, and put into effect draconian lifestyle changes to the American People. He actually may have been on to something crucial when politically charged.
