Ike was a great military and political leader. He warned us about the growing military industrial complex and the growing federal bureaucracy. Unfortunately, his words went unheeded.

Now is a good time to pull down my copy of Smith's Eisenhower in War and Peace and read a portion.

Great information about President Eisenhower and powerful quotes he made. Lest we Forget!

Ike retired from public life to the small town of Gettysburg Pennsylvania. It happens to be not far from Camp David. I wonder if he loved the countryside, or if the old solder was drawn to live near the battlefield.

Without Ike and Churchill, Hitler would have controlled the world. We are very lucky!

Now there is a new war raging and the future looks very bleak. We need two intelligent leaders again!

Unfortunately we do not see any presently.
