President Gerald Ford
Gerald Ford became president in 1974 when I was 14. Honestly, I don't remember much about him from that time. I mean, now I can recite several pieces of his bio and family... but to think of something I remember about him during that 1974-1977 period, I'm having a tough time.
What are your memories of Gerald Ford as president?

Gerald Ford was my favorite president. He took on a job he never volunteered for or wanted, He lifted our boys off the rooftop of the embassy in Saigon, Vietnam...he had the guts to pardon a president when everyone else wanted to but were too chicken to say so...he loved our country...adored his wife, new what family meant and loved our Lord. Cannot beat that!
He did all that? I know of the pardon have my own thoughts about that, then again I am Jamaican by birth American by choice. Came here in 1985. Sounds like a neat guy.
I don't remember him as a president but I will not forget what was remembered about him. "It is ok to diagree but you don't have to be disagreeable about it."
I love that!!
