Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau'oli Makahiki Hou = Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

 

Unfortunately, I was not invited on Air Force One with the President and his family for the holidays in Hawai'i (also my home state).

 

Speaking of Presidents, I did update the Dwight D. Eisenhower Wikipedia page (Legacy and memory section).

 

1) Added text about the history of the Eisenhower POTUS appreciation medals.

2) Added example images of an Eisenhower POTUS appreciation medals.

3) Added a link to my NGC Registry set on the Eisenhower POTUS appreciation medals.

 

Has anyone actually embedded a Wikipedia link to the NGC Registry before?

 

If the below link does not work (type in "Wiki Eisenhower" in your search engine)

I forgot to mention. There is also a Kennedy POTUS appreciation medal and it was described as part of the Kennedy half dollar on Wikipedia.

Boy I haven't heard that phrase in a long time. I was stationed at Wheeler AFB in the 70s for three years. I'll bet it has changed.

 

Merry everything to you and all who read this.
