DYK? Thanks to research done here, historians now rank Eisenhower as 5th-greatest president in American history. No offense to T. Roosevelt (ranked fourth-best), but we think we can get Ike to #4. We're coming for you, Teddy. Image: Eisenhower Presidential Library, 62-59-6.

Today seems like a good day to remind you that Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower were awesome. That's it. That's the post. #ilikeike #ikelife #Eisenhower #POTUS #abilenekansas Image: Eisenhower Presidential Library, 73-439-S-35.

c-span.org/presidentsurve… On this '21 @cspan ranking of presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower placed 5th. That's darn good. Probably no one will ever supplant Lincoln, Washington, & FDR as 1-2-3. We love Theodore Roosevelt, but we think we can get Ike to #4! What do you think?

"From here on it would be the NATION I would be serving, not myself. Suddenly the FLAG itself meant something." Dwight Eisenhower, At Ease #FlagDay #IkeLife @USNatArchives
