31 - HERBERT HOOVER
Since President Hoover was a Quaker he did not take an oath of office, instead he affirmed his presidency. During his term, he approved the "Star-Spangled Banner" as our national anthem. Herbert Hoover was president during one of the worst economic disasters in America's history. Hoover was one of two presidents who did not accept a salary for being president, instead donating his salary to charity. Hoover is shown standing on a platform that symbolizes Hoover's contributions to people around the world. The base of this statue includes the Hoover Dam which is attributed to Hoover's engineering abilities and a chaff of wheat representing Hoover's organization of shipments of food for starving millions in Europe.

ReplyDeleteComing from Tue Treasures ... In case you're forgetting to link up to All Seasons, a little reminder - you still have time to Wed. 7pm, Pacific time. Hope to see you there:)
ReplyDeleteJackie, I'm confused, I thought you were Canadian (citizensip), but here it sounds like you're American?
I am Canadian, Jeanne, the description is from the Rapid City City of Presidents website, hence the reference to "our". Sorry about that!
