Divine providence brought David Jacob Eisenhower and Ida Stover Eisenhower to this homestead, where they lived in piety and Christian service, raised sons, and taught them righteousness, charity to all men, and reverence to God. Six Eisenhower sons grew to manhood honoring their parents, God, and the cardinal principles of a free society: Arthur, Edgar Newton, Dwight David, Roy Jacob, Earl Dewey, and Milton Stover. From this modest home came one who was destined to lead in battle the mightiest array of fighting forces ever to wage war in freedom's cause and, after victory was secured, to lead as President the effort to ensure a continuing peace for all the world. The men and women of the Armed Forces walk amid dangers, and many gave their lives for freedom; by dedicated duty to their beloved nation they have preserved God-given rights, national honor, and the freedom won by the forefathers. Sustained by faith in the cherished ideals of true democracy, each American works in daily tasks at plough or forge or machine or desk knowing this nation will forever stand one and indivisible in devotion to the cause of liberty for all mankind.
