Now, Therefore, I, Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of the armed forces of the United States, do hereby proclaim Saturday, May 19, 1956, as Armed Forces Day;
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.
I have tried to make it just as clear as I can that any Republican that would like to do this job, I would like to see him put his case before the public just as earnestly as he knows how.
I never predict what I am going to do to a bill before it gets to me.
Seventy-five years this organization has been serving America; in a way, it has been sort of the conscience of America.
I think even people who would classify themselves probably as my political enemies do believe I am honest.
Once a man has passed into the Supreme Court, he is an American citizen and nothing else in my book until he comes out of that Court.
I have honestly got to be convinced that I think I can carry this job efficiently.
I have tried to be a little bit on the, let's say, cautionary side rather than on the optimistic.
Everything that I can constitutionally do will be done to prevent the outbreak of hostilities in that section.
