Dwight Eisenhower

Dwight Eisenhower was born in October and was born in Texas. He was the 34 president of the U.S.  He also graduated on with the military academy and was really around the military ever since. Eisenhower also commanded troops on D-day and had a famous speech. he was a strict commander but he also motivated his troops to win the war. dwight commanded with General MacArthur in the Phillipines. Eisenhower had a very good reputation and was known as a "5 star" general. The Pearl Harbor attack was a surprise attack and after the attack Eisenhower was ordered as a general staff in Washington. He had an awesome D-day speech and that got the troops motivated for the battle. He had confidence in his troops and believed they would get the victory. In 1943 FDR decided that Eisenhower would become the main commander in europe. I think he was an excellent general in ww2 and a great D-day commander. He was the first president to lead all 50 states, and he was the first president to be on color tv. Dwight died on March 28, 1969.

  • Brief and you focused on him as a general when you should have focused on him as president.
