Dwight Eisenhower is famous for many things. Name one.

Why this is the answer

Eisenhower's career gives you four ways to answer, and they come in order. He was a soldier first. In World War II, President Roosevelt picked him as supreme commander of Overlord, the code name for the Allied assault across the English Channel. On June 6, 1944, D-Day, Allied troops landed in Normandy, France, carried by the largest armada in history, more than 4,000 American, British and Canadian ships. The day before, Eisenhower had written a note accepting full blame in case the landing failed. He retired from the Army in 1952 and was elected President later that year. He took office in 1953 as the 34th President and served two terms, until 1961. As President he oversaw the end of the Korean War, which is why USCIS accepts "President at the end of (during) the Korean War." His best-known legacy at home is the road system. Eisenhower had learned the value of good highways in 1919, on the Army's first transcontinental motor convoy, and again in Germany during the war, where he saw the autobahn. On June 29, 1956, he signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act. It expanded the planned interstate system to 41,000 miles and authorized $25 billion to build it, a program the National Archives calls the biggest public works project in the nation's history. The easiest way to keep all four answers is to tell his life as a short story: a general, then the 34th President, who saw one war end and then signed the highway act. Each step is one accepted answer. The easy slips involve the wrong war. Eisenhower was a general in World War II, not World War I, and the war that ended while he was President was the Korean War. He was also not the President of the Great Depression; that was Franklin Roosevelt, who chose him for D-Day. Any one of the four answers is enough, and "general during World War II" is the shortest.
