Dwight D. Eisenhower

The 1972-S Eisenhower dollars are all 40% silver clad coins, struck as proof and uncirculated. Both coins were sold separately from the Mint and not included in the 1972 Proof or Uncirculated Mint Sets. With silver at $31.98 per ounce as of today 10-11-11 the coin is worth about $10.00.

Some of Dwight D. Eisenhower's favorite foods were breast of veal that was stuffed before being oven roasted, beef stew, vegetable soup that was named after him, and trout. He also liked English rice pudding, his wife's deep dish apple pie, her sugar cookies, and chicken noodle soup.

No, she was caucasian, of German ethnic background.

President Eisenhower believed that there had to be a balance between defense spending and the needs of a healthy economy. Instead of pouring dollar after dollar into defense, he reinforced local conventional defenses with massive retaliatory power. He created an arsenal of nuclear weapons.

Dwight D. Eisenhower was born in Denison, Texas, but grew up in Abilene, Kansas. After he left the Presidency, Eisenhower lived in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He usually referred to Abilene as his hometown.

In 1952, Dwight Eisenhower became the 34th President of the United States, in which he served 2 terms. He was born on October 14, 1890 in Denison, Texas. In 1911, he attended the United States Military Academy in West Point. After graduation, he joined the Army, and was appointed U.S. Army chief of staff in 1945. He died on March 28, 1969.

He was drafted into the presidency. Both parties wanted him to run for them. Once he decided to run, he did the best he could with the job. I think he agreed to do it because he believed he could make a diffference, not because he particularly wanted to be President.

Dwight D. Eisenhower attended Lincoln School in 1896, and graduated from Abilene High School in 1909.

Clausewitz says "Blood is the price of victory."

Ike is saying the cost of victory (in blood and treasure) will not be cheap.

Eisenhower was not missing any limbs but an infection he suffered as a teenager almost resulted in the amputation of a leg but Dwight refused to allow it, and miraculously recovered, though he had to repeat his freshman year of high school.

Warren led the Court to many decisions that supported liberal principles.

In accordance with his wish, the former general was buried in a regular soldier's coffin made of steel. To be more specific, it was a standard silver gray colored square design with stationary bars serving as handles and with a neutral, ivory colored crepe interior. The US government provided this casket to its active and retired soldiers at a price of $ 80 at that time - a price well below wholesale cost. The only "extra" distinguishing the casket of the former president from an ordinary soldier's casket was the equipment with an inner glass lid which converted the unsealed casket into a hermetically sealing one, making the coffin air and water tight. This specially ordered feature cost an extra $ 115, raising the total price of the casket to $ 195 - less than a tenth of a typical "presidential" luxury casket. As possible manufacturer of the casket the (former) Toccoa casket company can be named: although the company had lost in 1969 already its pre-Vietnam war position of being the largest supplier of caskets for the US military, Toccoa - unlike the new big government supplier Batesville - still manufactured caskets with inner glass lid. Eisenhower's personal choice of a regular soldier's casket reflects the modesty of this great man and the solidarity of this exceptional soldier with his comrades.

his diplomatic manner

For the Eisenhower series some of the coins struck at the San Francisco Mint (S Mintmark) were 40% silver but in general none of the Eisenhower dollars regardless of date or mintmark struck for general circulation have more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums.

By the 1950s, almost every family of the middle class owned a car. This fueled the growth of businesses devoted to cars and, in turn, dependent upon automobile traffic. Service stations, doubled in the 50s. Auto parts stores, motels, drive-in restaurants, car washes, and suburban shopping malls became the backbone of the economy. But, automobiles demanded roads. In 1956, the federal government passed the Interstate Highway Act, which created the interstate system of highways we have today. Over 41,000 miles of new roads ran cross country by 1960. The roads were not only for the average driver, but they united the nation for military vehicles in the case of a national disaster or military emergency.

Eisenhowers running mate was Richard Nixon

Dwight D. Eisenhower was named Army Chief of Staff after World War II ended. The President of the United States at that time was Harry S. Truman. During World War II he served as the Commander of European Tactical Operations and Supreme Commander of Allied Forces.

He got " Ike " when he was a child. Ei from Eisenhower made the sound of Ike said his father.

The Federal Aid Highway Act which created the Interstate Highway system was the major legislation during his administration.

As a bill in Congress, the FAHA was promoted as the "National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956," primarily because its backers understood that federal involvement in highway construction was unconstitutional unless it could somehow be made to reflect a legitimate concern for a constitutional national concern, such as the "national defence," as the phrase exists in the Preamble to the US Constitution. Rumors circulated then -- and persist today -- to the effect that one mile in every five miles of interstate highway is straight and level enough to land a military aircraft on; this is simply not true, as anyone who has traveled the West Virginia Turnpike (I-64/I-77/I-79), among other stretches, will readily testify.

Bridge/overpass/tunnel heights for the original system were, however, set in order to provide clearance for highway-borne military missile transport, not commercial tractor-trailers.
