June 25, 1942: Eisenhower assumed command


Dwight Eisenhower was one of the giants of the 20th century.  

On this day in 1942, General Dwight D. Eisenhower became commander of all U.S. troops in the European theater of World War II.    

Ike, as he was called, was one of those men who comes along at the right time in a country’s history.   His work as a military man was exceptional.   His quiet and stable presidency was exactly what the nation needed after World War II and Korea.
