Dwight D. Eisenhower was originally a poor kid. Although he was hardworking and diligent, he never imagined that he could become a general. He was still a colonel in 1940, but four years later, he had achieved the highest military rank in the United States—the General of the Army. Later, he also served as the President of the United States. He was one of the most outstanding military leaders in the Western world in the 20th century. During World War II, he served as the supreme commander of the Allied Forces in Europe and achieved glorious victories. Despite his German ancestry, he defeated Nazi Germany. Regardless of what people think of him, no one denies that he was an outstanding military leader and statesman. Americans see him as the embodiment of the "American Dream"—that through personal effort, even the underprivileged can rise to prominence, and everyone can achieve success through hard work.
As a military figure, Eisenhower possessed all the qualities of an excellent individual cultivated by the U.S. military—mastery of military affairs, familiarity with the history of war, courage and resilience, a spirit of dedication, and deep affection from the soldiers and trust from his superiors. —George Marshall
