newtoSig765Truman for me as well. I have an early memory of Gen. Douglas MacArthur being recalled from Korea, and my father being worried that he would attempt some sort of coup d'etat.
Although both my parents were died-in-the-wool FDR Democrats, I had "I Like Ike" pins as did so many of the other oldsters here. I guess he stuck with me, as I have always voted Republican.

YooperSigsI also like Ike. But the first I recall was JFK. And that terrible day in November.

This. HST was president, but I wasn't old enough to be aware of such things until Ike was in office.
