It is a day to reflect on the great sacrifices of the men and women who helped restore France and eventually bring down the Nazi regime ending the Western war in World War II It is hard to ignore the fact that President Ronald Reagan , the only president since Eisenhower to completely serve out two terms in office, had a huge impact on America and the makeup of the entire global community. One impotant example: he was key in the breakup of the former Soviet Union. President Reagan died today, June 5, 2004, at the age of 93. He will be remembered as a good natured person and great communicator who rose to power and served in the highest office in the United States.

During the night, over 5,300 ships and 11,000 planes had crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy. The goal of every soldier and civilian involved in that effort was to drive the German military back to Berlin by opening a western front in Europe. General Dwight David Eisenhower was in command of the invasion, which was code-named Operation Overlord. Just months prior, the 1915 West Point graduate had led the invasion of French North Africa

    Extractions: African-American History and Culture Abraham Lincoln's preliminary draft of the Emancipation Proclamation was shown to his Cabinet in July 1862. [Page 2] In it, Lincoln warns that if the rebellion is not ended in four months, as a "necessary military measure" he will "order and declare . . . all persons held as slaves within any state or states, wherein the constitutional authority of the United States shall not be practically recognized, submitted to, and maintained, shall then, thenceforward, and forever be free." (Abraham Lincoln Papers) Efforts by African-Americans to educate themselves and find meaningful employment can be traced in the papers of historian Carter G. Woodson and educator Nannie Helen Burroughs. Also available are the papers of the first three presidents of Tuskegee InstituteBooker T. Washington, Robert Russa Moton, and Frederick D. Patterson. The papers of Gen. Noel F. Parrishthe white World War II commander of the Tuskegee air base where black airmen were trained by the army air corps for the first timereveal how blacks and whites worked together to dispel racist presumptions of black inferiority. Information on the training of black aviators and the establishment of the Tuskegee flight school may also be found in the diaries of historian Rayford W. Logan, who in the early 1940s was acting chair of the Committee on Participation of Negroes in the National Defense Program.

Complete text Related Item: By Adam Wolfson and Daniel Patrick Moynihan Forty years ago this summer, Martin Luther King, Jr., stood at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial and delivered his "I Have a Dream" oration. But despite the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and the passage of time, King's significance remains a point of contention. Do people really know what they are celebrating on the third Monday of every January? Though the search for the "real," flesh-and-blood King is well-intentioned and has added immensely to the knowledge of King and his times, it has also paradoxically obscured the King who mattered to Americans. In the recounting of his marital infidelities, acts of plagiarism, and ties to (former) members of the American Communist Party, people have lost sight of why he was lionized in his own day and is still remembered for his political achievements and rhetorical gifts.

    Extractions: 1:05 P.M. CDT THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all for coming. Thanks for that warm welcome really warm welcome. (Laughter.) Across America today, Americans are reciting 31 world words that help define our country. In once sentence we affirm our form of government, our belief in human dignity, our unity as a people, and our reliance on Providence. And this pledge takes on a special meaning in a time of war. Our enemies hate these words. That's what you've got to understand. They hate the words, and they want to erase them. We're determined to stand for these words, and live them out in our lives. Our allegiance has never been stronger. We've never been more determined. And we must work to teach our children to love our nation as much as we do. I want to thank you all for coming today. I particularly want to thank our Secretary of Education for traveling with me Rod Paige. I picked Rod out of a lot of really good candidates because I wanted somebody to be in Washington who had actually been on the front lines of educating every child. We didn't need any more theory in Washington. We needed people that actually done. And when we talk about raising the bar and challenging the soft bigotry of low expectations, so that every child can learn, when we talk about having an accountability system to make sure no child is left behind, our Secretary of Education has actually done it. He ran one of the largest school districts in my state, our state, and he did so with class and dignity. And the children of Houston, Texas are better off for it.

    Extractions: Introduction The First Chapter of this "Online Book" gives a brief history of the American Presidency from 1774 to 1779 making the case that 10 men served as President of the United States in Congress Assembled before George Washington. Please understand that I am only advocating these men be recognized for what they are, Presidents of the United States in Congress Assembled and not displace George Washington as "The Father of Our Country" . I am trying not to re-write history but right it. The following chapters in this work are brief biographies on each of the Continental Congress and United States in Congress Assembled Presidents with autographs, letters and key Historical Documents from their Presidency. Adolf Hitler once maintained "One is able to win people far more by the spoken than the written word, as the greatest changes in this world have never been brought about by the goose quill!" Wrong!

    Extractions: "To the Best of My Ability" is a wonderful new book about the American presidents. Published by the Society of American Historians, it has as its General Editor the distinguished Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James M. McPherson. "To the Best of My Ability" has similarities with other Presidential reference works Ive read, but it also has some particularly notable new features which I believe set it apart as the most outstanding work in its genre. The first 306 pages are devoted to short historical essays of each President and his administration . Each essay is written by a renowned Presidential scholar, biographer, or historian, and are without peer for writing quality and scholarship. The essays are lively, interesting, and offer a brief and completely objective appraisal of each Presidents time in the nations highest office.

    Extractions: BERLIN - American Nobel Prize laureate for Economics George A. Akerlof lashed out at the government of US President George W. Bush, calling it the "worst ever" in American history, the online site of the weekly Der Spiegel magazine reported Tuesday. "I think this is the worst government the US has ever had in its more than 200 years of history. It has engaged in extradordinarily irresponsible policies not only in foreign policy and economics but also in social and environmental policy," said the 2001 Nobel Prize laureate who teaches economics at the University of California in Berkeley. "This is not normal government policy. Now is the time for (American) people to engage in civil disobedience. I think it's time to protest - as much as possible," the 61-year-old scholar added. Akerlof has been recognized for his research that borrows from sociology, psychology, anthropology and other fields to determine economic influences and outcomes.

Franklin Roosevelt influenced Americans with his Fireside Chats.
