October 14th marks the birthday of Dwight David Eisenhower, our 34th President and also one of our country’s most important generals.
In 1990, the 100th anniversary of his birth, a symposium took place at Gettysburg College involving many people who knew him best. After he left office in 1960, Eisenhower retired to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
