All of us--America--must stand together, stand strong and be of one mind if we are, from our position of strength, going to lead really on the road of peace.
Eisenhower
The Public Record
Dwight D. Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States, serving from 1953 to 1961. A member of the Republican Party, he was born in Kansas and rose to prominence as a five-star general in the United States Army during World War II. Eisenhower served as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe, overseeing the successful D-Day invasion and the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control.
The strength of our country must always be our first concern-its spiritual, intellectual, economic, and its military strength.
We merely want the opportunity for all men who love freedom to have it, to hold it, and to enjoy it.
Let us not forget, my friends, we keep defense forces to keep the peace.
No--this is not a sick America, but a healthy America--not a weak nation, but a strong one--not a fearful people, but a confident one.
We want to turn nuclear science to the production of power, to assist the doctors in their medical research, to agriculture, to industry, and so on.
I hope sincerely that you advance your Lieutenant Governor, Mr. Anderson, to the Governor's chair.
I have seen the smoky fury of our factories--rising to the skies, and proclaiming to the world that 66 million American workers are more prosperous and secure than ever in our history.
I believe that if the laboring man today ... will look at the record, I think they will find nothing here that they can say this administration is their enemy; on the contrary, they are good friends.
If I am not running the executive part of this Government, then I am the man that is mostly fooled in this Nation.
Now, when I see what unions have done for the working man of America ... I don't have to have any doubt in my mind as to what they have done for America as a whole.
