Dwight D Eisenhower is somebody that could get lost in the pages of history if you weren't paying attention. How that could happen is hard to believe because he was actually an amazing man and leader. Long before he was president, he was a five-star general in the United States Army during World War II and served as supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe. Can you imagine the kind of responsibility on his shoulders? And that's only the beginning of his career. He would later go on to win the office of the US Presidency. Not only that, but there are several things we as the population have now because he initiated its creation. For example, did you know that he was the one who started NASA? He was also responsible for initiating the Interstate Highway Act. Yep, those roads we travel on now are thanks in large part to President Eisenhower.
