That evening, Eisenhower's body was placed onto a train en route to Abilene , Kansas . His body arrived on April 2, and was interred later that day in a small chapel on the grounds of the Eisenhower Presidential Library . President Nixon spoke of Eisenhower's death, "Some men are considered great because they lead great armies or they lead powerful nations. For eight years now, Dwight Eisenhower has neither commanded an army nor led a nation; and yet he remained through his final days the world's most admired and respected man, truly the first citizen of the world." This is a (SCARCE) program to find. This would be an excellent addition to your library of Political Video memorabilia. The DVD comes in a jewel case and is professionally labeled.
