....... in 1969.....

On this day. 1969: Dwight D. Eisenhower died. He was the 34th President, serving between 1953-61. Dwight David Eisenhower was really named David Dwight; he reversed his name when he enrolled at West Point. Before entering politics, Eisenhower spent decades in the Army, rising to the rank of five-star general during World War II. The wartime achievement that "Ike," as Eisenhower was known will always be remembered for, of course, was leading the invasions of North Africa in 1942–43 and France on D-Day — June 6, 1944.
