Dwight Eisenhower actually said...
For years, our citizens between the ages of 18 and 21 have, in time of peril, been summoned to fight for America. They should participate in the political process that produces this fateful summons. I urge the Congress to propose to the states a constitutional amendment permitting citizens to vote when they reach the age of 18.
Context
Eisenhower advocates for lowering the voting age to 18, emphasizing the importance of young citizens participating in the political process.
