<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 25229215, member: 100459&quot;]During the summer of </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>, I challenged myself to read a book about the life of each president. that was in 1957.&nbsp; I got a reading certificate from the local school library.&nbsp; I still have my certificate in my journal.&nbsp; A graduated from that, to reading Science Fiction Novels, i.e., Heinlein (Tunnel in the Sky and many other of his novels) and then to Isaac Asimov&#039;s Foundation Series) I am grateful for the freedom we have in the United States to write and read novels.&nbsp; My favorite President was Dwight David Eisenhower.&nbsp; His meteoric rise from a Captain to the Commanding General over all of the troops during World War II and then the Commanding Chief of the United States, the greatest power on earth at that time.&nbsp; (Now, we are just a fledgling country on the Earth.)&nbsp; It is great to live in this country today where we can collect coins and enjoy our life in the little corners of our country today.&nbsp; I am proud to have served in the military of the United States of America.&nbsp; I jumped out of perfectly good aircraft while serving in the 82nd Airborne Division, formerly of Fort Bragg, North Carolina (now, Fort Liberty).&nbsp; Does anyone know if there were any coins for the 82nd?&nbsp; I collect and all things related to the 82nd and/or Airborne in general.&nbsp; &quot;Hooh raw!!&quot;&nbsp; Thanks to all that served.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
