Eisenhower

First time I've run across this image. Currently on ebay…

Image

1963 Dwight Eisenhower in an early. The date would place it two years after his presidency. Looks like Walter Cronkite as passenger so I believe this is another photo of them on Normandy Beach as seen at the bottom of this website - https://sites.google.com/site/scr625/Home/m151a1-jeep

Same hood numbers. Both appear to have smiles on their faces. :)

That's VERY cool. This means that somewhere out there, there are many more photos of this particular event and it sure would be a pleasure to see them.

They are out there, it's just the top picture that I have never seen before where he looks like he is actually driving it instead of parked.
