a look at the life and accomplishments
of Dwight D Eisenhower ladies and
gentlemen I believe we can have peace

national solvency
I believe in the future of the United
States of America
Dwight David Eick Eisenhower was born
October 14th 1890 in Denison Texas and
grew up in Abilene Kansas as one of
seven boys after developing an interest
in the military from reading his
mother’s history books he enrolled at
West Point’s Military Academy in New
York upon graduation he was shipped to
Texas where he met Mamie Geneva Dowd
once the pair married in 1916 Eisenhower
spent the next year’s training recruits
in tank warfare during World War one by
the end of the 1930s lieutenant colonel
Eisenhower was back in the US after
serving overseas with his expertise and
friendly personality he advanced quickly
through the ranks of World War two and
was put in charge of several Allied
invasions eventually Eisenhower was
appointed supreme commander of the
Allied expeditionary force during the
war Eisenhower earned a decisive Allied
victory by launching history’s largest
amphibious invasion the Normandy
landings he also helped the Allies win
one of the war’s biggest and deadliest
clashes the Battle of the Bulge by the
war’s end Eisenhower was promoted to
five-star general after spending time as
the Army’s chief of staff Eisenhower
became president of Columbia University
in 1948 and published a successful
military memoir before vacating his
position in the early 1950s he took a
brief leave and headed to Europe as
supreme commander of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization or NATO in 1952
Eisenhower retired from the Army and
entered politics he won the Republican
presidential nomination and launched the
I like Ike campaign you like Ike
everybody liked
with his down-to-earth persona a promise
to end the Korean War and Richard Nixon
as his running mate
Eisenhower was elected president on
November 4th 1952 we sense with all our
faculties that forces of good and evil
our mass and armed and opposed as rarely
before in history during his presidency
Eisenhower showed conservative
tendencies on a domestic front he left
most of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New
Deal programs in place stressed the
importance of a balanced budget and
decreased taxes he also enacted the
Civil Rights Act of 1957 and took steps
to stop racial segregation Eisenhower’s
foreign efforts were focused on peace
following the death of Soviet premier
Joseph Stalin Eisenhower pleaded for
decreased spending on nuclear weapons in
his chance for peace speech every gun
that is made every warship launched
every rocket fire signifies in the final
sense a fete from those who hunger and
are not fair those who are cold and are
not good unfortunately this did little
to prevent the eventual expansion of the
Cold War in 1953 Eisenhower helped
broker a truce in the Korean War during
this period he also began advocating in
favor of nuclear weapon use for
diplomatic purposes especially with his
Atoms for Peace speech I feel impelled
to speak today in a language that in a
sense is new one which I who have spent
so much of my life in the military
profession would have preferred never to
you that new language is the language of
atomic warfare his proposal of an
international agency on the topic
materialized with the International
Atomic Energy Agency in 1957 in 1954
Eisenhower and Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles attempted to thwart
communism spread with the Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization the next year he
again tackled the nuclear threat during
a summit in Geneva by suggesting the
mutual air inspection of the US and
Soviet Union’s military equipment
however the Soviets refused the open
skies proposal in 1956 Eisenhower
signing of the federal aid Highway Act
permitted the eventual construction of
the interstate highway system that’s
year he secured his second presidential
term despite a heart attack the year
before following the suez crisis the
fight against communism continued with
the eisenhower doctrine he offered
American aid to threatened Middle
Eastern countries he also increased the
country’s commitment to space research
after the Soviet satellite Sputnik 1 was
sent into orbit this ultimately led to
the creation of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration or NASA in 1958
however hopes of repairing relations
with the Soviets were dashed when an
American u2 surveillance aircraft was
found spying on the USSR in 1960 the
next year Eisenhower left office we must
guard against the acquisition of
unwarranted influence whether sought or
unsought by the military-industrial
complex the potential for the disastrous
rise of misplaced power exists and will
persist he was reinstated as general of
the army and spent his retirement with
his wife on a farm near Gettysburg
Pennsylvania
on March 28 1969 Dwight Eisenhower died
of heart failure though Eisenhower’s
administration was criticized for a
brief economic recession the u-2
incident and its relationship with the
USSR and the nuclear arms race his
presidential reputation is often viewed
positively in fact some considered
Dwight D Eisenhower as one of the best
presidents in American history and that
in the goodness of time all people’s
will come to live together in a peace
guaranteed by the binding force of
mutual respect and love
