Eisenhower exemplified bravery when he gave the order to send US soldiers in to the Normandy Invasion of D-Day. General Eisenhower was in Normandy, France in 1945. “On June 5, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, drafted a message to be issued in case the mission failed: ‘The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.’ Ike never had to make that statement, but victory was hard won” (D-Day).

On January 20, 1953, Dwight D Eisenhower became president. He was the perfect person to be president because he was a war hero in D-Day. This was a perfect example of fearless because he probably did not want this title, but he took it anyway, not for himself but for America. When he became president he knew he couldn't make everyone happy, so he did the best he could to make America an even better place. Eisenhower did a lot the awesome things, but they were all for his family and America.

He was the 34th president of the USA. He died in March 28, 1969. He is my because he saved millions. He was one of the best presidents of all time.
