Dwight D. Eisenhower was a hero to Gerald Ford for the same reasons he was a hero to a lot of Americans. He was confident, down-to-earth, and a war hero in World War II.

I think your questions is: What was Dwight D. Eisenhower's job before he was President? Dwight D. Eisenhower was a General in the U.S. Army at the start of World War II, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. Eisenhower became the American Army leader in the European theater during that war. He led the ground troops in Europe against the Germans. When victory occurred with the defeat of the Germans in Europe, Eisenhower returned to America as a great war hero. That was more or less the reason he became our 34th President in 1953.
Besides being a hero from WWII, Ike appealed to many people because he appeared to be affable and almost grandfatherly. He played alot of golf, and had a very hands off appearance. In reality he very much had control, and was a very effective and commanding president.
