        I served under General President Ike. He made me feel I was 10 Ft tall when he addressed me.

        I’m very proud to serve as A Navy Corpsman at Bethesda Naval Hospital called Walter Reed today. I was assigned to Fleet Admiral Bill Leahy as A Medical Aid. President Eisenhower visited him twice a month. He called me boy from Missouri. I was honored.

        The pain etched in his face is palpable . I don’t think soldiers are ever really able to relieve themselves of the experience or pain of battle. Beautiful and haunting portrait of a man who cared.

        I totally agree. We have new challenges now and it still requires a Commander in Chief who owns whatever our country is involved in.

        Having stood on that beach at low tide, looking up at the now defunct bunkers and trenches... I can only imagine the bravery of those who gained that foothold. I've served, but we modern soldiers can barely pay homage to those virtuous souls.

        He carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. Being in Normandy was an overwhelming experience for me. I can't begin to fathom how he felt at that moment in 1963. Forever grateful.

        What must have been going through his mind? I know he took personal responsiblity for his soldiers. That place is so haunting, even for someone who is just an onlooker to the history he lived.

        A very impactful image of Eisenhower for any who understand that time. He was the last great Republican president in my humble opinion.

        I was there right after 9/11 and it was piled with floral bouquets from the French, with cards reading (in French), “You stood by us in WWII and we are standing by you now.”
