This type of elaborate ceremony is so moving
😂😂
Well, he saved the world…
A shame that most people ignored just about everything he warned about in his farewell speech.
*sighs*
What did he warn about
@@pinkpenzu the rise of what he called “the military industrial complex.”
@@S0P2024 sorry man
Correct. They also ignored Washington's advice.
One of the best presidents the US has ever had.
Also one of our best military officers.
2nd best after our current glorious president. Votejoe
I was 17 when Ike passed away. I am 70 years old now and deeply moved by this video and wiping tears from my eyes
Who was the last President that was a true statesmen? Ike, definitely was, I like to think Jimmy Carter and Reagan were. I also think Obama perhaps was too (he did have a grace). But Trump and Biden?
😢😢😢😭😭😭
I still like Ike
Lol
Congratulations for long life
I remember as a kid going to the C&O train station by myself before daylight to watch and pay respect as his funeral train stopped in our town for a few minutes on its way to his final resting place.
Eisenhower and Churchill may have never agreed on much but the world owes its freedom to them. Eisenhower was a great man, a great leader in our time of need
imagine being present at a funeral of a man who planned and took control of D-DAY and also wrote a letter taking all blame if D-Day failed.... I goosebumps just watching this
He deserves every reverence this country could give him. Epitome of a great man and true American. A Proud nation sheds many tears.
Very true just World War II alone. Deserved every star on his uniform. He was very lucky for D-Day. They were all lucky on Day. Still to this day, boggles my mind. Why do you have generals like Eisenhower and MacArthur out doing the fighting, why they didn’t make Marshall General of the armies. There is only three in existence and I’m surprised with all of the great men World War II there was not one. But there are three. Do you know who they are? I do.
He was the only one who from the leaders during WW II has not abandoned us and tried to help - Poland is thankful!
He always preferred the title General rather that president. Thank You General, there will never be another like you. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes he did. But being a backroom dealer. Patton and I prefer president. And he knows why.
So does beedle. The vice president.
I've always been partial to. "Don't shoot!!!! I'm unarmed!!!!!"
Eisenhower was from Abilene Kansas. Not a big town, but his family home is there, the Eisenhower museum is there, and his presidential library. I've visited his grave there a couple of times. He said that the thing he was proudest of was being from Abilene.
What an awesome thing for him to have said. But not surprising as he was a quality guy.
RIP
Dwight D. Eisenhower
(1890-1969)
Ike was a man of extraordinary courage and of service. He served his country with distinction. A life well lived. Gone but never forgotten. Rip legend.
Check out the class of 1915, the Military Academy at Westpoint, the class the stars 🌟 fell on. Eisenhower was in that class. Incredible experience and leadership.
Ike fully deserved that sort of lavish and solemn funeral! He was indeed a man of strong values; a five-star general, who helped erase the brown Nazi plague; and a great leader to the whole free world!
So, Hitler and Nazism, as soon as they invaded some European countries, they called them the plague and criminals against humanity. As for the two heinous empires, Britain and France, they invaded more than 40% of the world, exterminated and enslaved peoples, occupied their lands, shed their blood, and made them annihilate after their independence in continuous eternal wars like India. The British did not get out of it except after dividing it. And he made her frank permanently and herself in Syria and Algeria when the French were testing chemical and nuclear weapons with them, and what evil are you talking about? The real evil is Britain and France in the same way, and I bow in honor and thanks to the Nazis for what they did to Britain and France, and if they had not done it, we would to this day be under occupation and enslavement between these two empires! And if you were in Hitler's place, you would have done more than twice between these two criminal states!
My great grandpa, who served under him, sure didn’t care for him.
I never got the chance to ask why
I just remember my great uncle tellin the story of when Eisenhower came to this part of Oklahoma to see damage done by an ongoing drought, my great aunts and uncles and grandpa wanted to go see him, but my great grandpa wouldn’t let them cuz he didn’t like Eisenhower at all. I wish I could’ve talked to him about that before he passed and just about his time fighting the Nazis.
@@UnlicensedOkie He was a great U.S. Army general and he was a great President of the United States of America.
@@UnlicensedOkie 'cuz he was from Texas?

When journalism was an art form
Back when American presidents had integrity and were worthy of honor
👍🇺🇸
fr miss this
Reagan was the last great president of the United States. Every single president before him was very worthy (Except for Johnson, Truman and Nixon, maybe).
@@Fotodante wait, what did truman do wrong? I get nixon but even nixon would probably have been considered pretty good if not for, you know, watergate.
@@manipulatortrash Truman authorized the atomic bomb.
One of the greatest U.S. Presidents.
@The Nintendo gamer One of the greatest. Handled the cold war with perfection.
😃
nahh
@@mikes7446 Don't get out much?
@@dodge-ut6ti Proof?
A great great leader and statesman. Amazing generation.
Do we have the great statesmen and women today?
Thankyou President Eisenhower from the UK
He was a great man, we all should remember him and follow his example. We need leaders like him today more than ever!
The perfect gentleman who served as a soldier
And he served his country. He put his country first.
Great film, great man. Still like Ike.
Notice all the men wore suits and women wore dresses. Total respect and admiration for General Eisenhower. RIP Sir.
Fast forward to Reagan's funeral, those who filed past were largely dressed very casually, if I remember correctly.
No mention about his farewell speech and his warning. Makes me wonder that he is hardly mentioned even by the GOP. No surprise though as we have witnessed history of wars rolled out in front of our eyes compliments of the industrial and military complex. Ike is a pure American hero not only of war but of ethos.
Interesting you’re pointing to the GOP. Kennedy got us into Vietnam. Johnson expanded Vietnam. Clinton bombed Serbia and Iraq to cover for his affairs. Bush got us into Iraq. Obama bombed something like 30 countries, toppled Libya creating a hell hole, enabled the rise of ISIS.
The only President in my lifetime to not start a new war or bombing campaign was from the GOP- Trump.
I Still like Ike!
very respectful
ye
Treating racist people like a God is weird, not respectful.
@@hurricanecamille8089
Ah yes, the man who started the ball rolling on desegregating the South, and signed the civil rights act of 1957, was a racist
Please stop slandering one of Americas greatest presidents, and one of the influential and greatest people to ever live in this country
@@person3070 "Started the ball rolling on desegregating"...that's hilarious.
President Eisenhower one of the greatest Americans that ever lived.
Thank you
@@S0P2024 nobody wasn't even close the American President Eisenhower was not to mention his distinguished military career. Do you have any relations to President Eisenhower?
@@S0P2024 you're welcome
@@joecap4372 maybe idk
Who’s the better general tho? Washington or Eisenhower?
R.I.P. President General Dwight Eisenhower.
A true patriot. US needs another Eisenhower now.
Rest In Peace Dwight D. Eisenhower.
I was only 8 years old when he died, he was the only President I knew as a child of the 50's, I remember feeling afraid when he left Office, at the time the apprehension was palpable in America, he warned of the Military/Industrial complex, but, too few listened, he'd be ashamed of the US of today...
He wouldn't be ashamed of the nation.A nation needs to evolve you know somewhat
@Michael Ashcraft , According to the information above you were born the year he left office. He left office January 20th 1961. Sorry but your math isn't working. Maybe you were 18 ?
IKE is a giant among mere mortals.
The glue who held the Allies together. RIP.
Nowhere can match the perfection of a US state funeral, god bless America. 🇺🇸
so dignified ceremony. This great statesman truly deserved it.
We used to have GRAND presidents, men you revered and looked up to, who were not just symbols but ICONS of greatness and and the epitomie of America at it's best, men who stood for integrity, honor and service to their country. Many were MILITARY MEN, who had seen the face of war! They knew how precious freedom was and the ultimate price many had paid. Men like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt(FDR), Eisenhower and Kennedy(JFK) were men who were bigger than life and were leaders during some troubled times but who stayed on course and got us through. They were fully worthy of homegoings like this. As I watch this, I wonder what it must have been like at Washington's funeral and that of Lincoln!
You can add: US Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan.
Couldnt have said it better
He is and He always be my favorite Leader. That is the Leader World needs the most! Just watching His Funeral Procession makes me feel Heavenly. Indeed! He was considered Great in the eyes of The Mankind as well as in the eyes of our Heavenly LORD THE FATHER. God bless His Soul and help me to become a Man just like Him. That is the Treasure which I always desired for as a greatest Wealth On Earth designate for Mankind.
…He was the one who initiated Policies of interventions now known as “ Color Revolutions or Regime change “ in Iran( 1953) Vietnam, Guatemala ( 1954) - Regime Change in France against Degaulle, he ordered the assessination of Patrick Lumumba leader of the Republic of Congo … And many others crimes conmmited against humanity…A short resume of this “ Great American Heroe “..☝🏻💀🇺🇸
@@brunokirchensittenbach9294 Who cares. If he did as you say which l don't belive he did. I'm sure he did it for a good reason.
the world? America is not the world ruler... stop thinking you are above all of us
@@dodge-ut6ti …According to your answer then 58,000 US Service Man and over 2,000 Missing in Action it’s just a pure fantasy invented by Hollywood and US Government and Jhon Rambo and Chuck Norris won the Wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan in the mid 80’s, and the US won WWll and Irak, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, wars of interventions were under humanitarian reasons to enhance Freedom Human Rights and prosperity happiness to all those countries involved in this US crusade for Democracy and Freedom like in Ukraine right now…Vietnam doesn’t exist in today’s peoples memory as well Korea,keep watching more Hollywood movies 🍿 it gonna makes you smarter and stimulate your high l.Q….🐖💨🇺🇸💩…☝🏻💀….Kommt Rat Kommt Zeit…!!! 🇨🇭🇨🇭

@@DaveSCameron Proof?
@@SUPERNOVA0360 Just a sec. gotta shoot the shop for a twuix an a bottle of pop..
It's cool how the USMC uniform still looks as sharp then as it does now.
It's great to see the diversity on display in the uniforms even back then...
@@bbalderston125 What's with the ellipses? If you have something to say, just come out and say it.
One of the best presidents rest in peace Dwight d Eisenhower rest in peace
Omg in first row is Mohammadreza Pahlavi shah of Iran !! Good old days when Iran and US were friendly , I wish those days returns and our countries become once again friend and respect each others !!
Yes they were better days I to wish Iran could come back to the international family and be friends again with the west…
Wish I could have been there, to pay tribute 🇺🇸
Good vid
amazing general
Respect, Liverpool ❤️
Beautiful. God rest his soul.
Memory eternal.
Amazing vid quality. Wtf!
Why am I getting recommended this after the Queen’s death 😭 UA-cam recs are lowkey outta pocket
We need another universally loved hero
Eisenhower was a great president alongside Reagan. I still miss him a lot and it has already been 55 years ago since he died.
Thank you, Mr. Eisenhower
(October 14th, 1890 - March 28th, 1969) 🌹
RIP Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Those marine uniforms never age
Ike was the Prez when I was born.
De Gaulle made it to Sir Winston's funeral...
Great man he served our country well he deserved this moving send off.
He’s my favorite historical figure literally ever. It’s a shame barely anyone in my generation knows anything about him
Even after he was president he was still referred to as General, never Mr. President.
He would have been addressed as President Eisenhower, as opposed to as Mr. President, as he would have been while in office.
@@kellyvaters1689 He was addressed as General even when he was president. Don't take my word for it look it up. Look up some of his speeches or the debate.
@@kellyvaters1689 I'm guessing he considered defeating Nazis a greater achievement than getting more votes than the other guy when he was elected. At request of President Johnson, General Eisenhower played a prominent role in President Kennedy's memorials. I recall on day of Assassination, reporters were interviewing him and addressing him as "General," as opposed to "Mr. President," like former presidents are usually addressed.
I attended the funeral. U. S. Navy Ceremonial Guard from NAF Washington D.C. Memorable day in history.
God Bless America and the Marines
God doesn't bless racists.
He was Army
What is the title of the song that the choir sings at the very beginning of the video ?
RIP Mr. President
At least he wasn't assassinated!
I had a chance to see him at Roosevelt Field way back. He was one of kind and All Americans and the World should always remember what he did for us all. Freedom came at a very high cost in WWII, our backs were against the Wall, nothing to do but fight for it...and so we did at it's source...Bless this Man who lead the fight against Evil....
Humble patriot..
God bless America 🙏
I heard that he was an extraordinary poker player.
I was there in 1969 lining the route. I saw the limos pass by.
Rest in peace ike👍
For a split second I froze when I glanced at this and saw “presidential state funeral”
Even when I saw Eisenhower. Then a millisecond later I thought “wait a minute. He’s been gone a long time.” Then I realized I was thinking it was Jimmy Carter.
Keep on trucking Jimmy
Hit that 100 mark
Went from being one of the most bland presidents to one of the greatest former presidents.
Jimmy Carter is one of the worst presidents ever. You can thank him for the rise in militant Islamic fundamentalist terrorists. The world would be a much safer place today if he hadn't screwed up.
I'd say he's to good of a man to be a good politician
Why can't today's GOP find another Ike? Common sense, decency, and courage describe him. What would he think of Louie Gohmert, Lindsay Graham or M.T. Grene?
He’d love MTG 😌
He would probably knock Graham out
Because todays GOP would call President Eisenhower a socialist and its voters would agree like obedient lapdogs devoid of critical thought and not vote for him to become a senator never mind president.
@@twentysecondcenturywoman he would hate her and if you genuinely think he wouldn’t then you know nothing about Eisenhower, the Republican Party, and history in general
@@mikeym1479 I don’t think it hate her though admittedly Eisenhower was somewhat too honest with his criticism as he criticize Nixon before he endorsed him that being said the Republican party hasn’t really changed much from the last hundred years it’s a Democratic Party that hasn’t changed at all in the last hundred years most Democrats today are basically Dixie Crats
Rip Dwight D Eisenhower 34th President of USA 🇺🇸
By the way the intro made me laughing 😂
Former U.S. President. Harry S. Truman was unable to attend the funeral service for his successor,
because he's at Key West for vacation with his family, He sent a condolence message to General's widow Mamie Eisenhower and President Richard Nixon.
I didn't know this until a while ago, but apparently his son passed away back in 2013. I wouldn't have thought a president's offspring from back then would've still been alive at that time.
More than a President...
He was a General and Commander in Chief..
I remember watching his funeral. I was quit young but he was the first president I remember.
Also, I found it heart warming not too long later That Eisenhower's grandson Davif, married Nixon's daughter, Julie.
He is the first president I remember - the Republican convention of 1956 - he first convention my parents watched on their first television. I was 6 years old.
A totally different era.
EL HIMNO FIRMES Y ADELANTE,HUESTES DE LA FE......
Why are comments turned off for Winston Churchill but not Dwight Eisenhower? Is one above reproach and the other not?
Great filimg for that time
Rest in peace amen
I'm pretty sure my great grandpa guarded Eisenhower
4:56 you would never tell that, that was in Washington, looks exactly like somewhere in England.
I remember watching when I was 7
This film doesn’t even look that old
This man doesn't get the credit he deserves as either a General or a POTUS. But the man didn't do what he did for fame and for historical recognition, he just served to the best of ability. He is the best American president of the 20th century and (to this point) beyond.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 RIP Eisenhower
Don't worry I'm back to you
It's interesting to me how much General Eisenhower's state funeral mirrors what I've been seeing in the funeral of Queen Elizabeth. Both of them were excellent leaders and well deserving of such a grand send-off.
no where near the scale of the queens
Do you still think they're comparable?
@@eddiegaltek In scale, no, but that was not the point. As far as the elements of the funeral, yes. The formal procession, the coffin draped with the flag, the lying-in-state...these are probably elements common to the funerals of leaders all around the world, but before now I only ever saw Presidential funerals.
Who would have dreamt? In 2022, I’ve become an Eisenhower Republican but, no such party exists anymore….
Foi um gigante do Século XX..
If he knew what's going on today, he'd be happy to have already move forward.
I'm amazed there were empty seats.
We all still like ike
Such a great man. I’m surprised he was not buried in (GETTYSBURG) at his retirement home that he loves so much.
Ike Rip💪
Who' s here after Queen Elizabeyh death
Back when this once great country was respectable, and didn’t have two walking memes as the last two presidents.
Lidl version of UK state funerals.
If John F. Kennedy had lived and left office in January 1969, his attendance would likely have been his first official act as a former president.
