We remember Nelson Rockefeller as the governor of New York and a man who ran for president a couple of times. On this day in 1974, he was sworn in as Vice President under President Ford. All of this happened because President Nixon resigned in August 1974.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
