Other Historic Autographs I have:
In addition to my WWII Autographs, I also have many other historic autographs, such as Presidents, Medal of Honor recipients, and so much more!!! Here are some of them:
Jimmy Carter (The 39th President of the United States, 76th governor of Georgia, Georgia State Senator)
The first 2 books I had purchased from Barnes and Noble, unsigned, then sent to the Carter Center, who then included signed Bookplates in each of the books. The third signed book was one that I purchased on Ebay. The signed photo was given to me as a gift by someone.
George W. Bush (The 43rd President of the United States, 46th Governor of Texas)
I got this book as a Birthday present. The signature is on a Bookplate. When he first published Decision Points, his office was sending out these hand-signed Bookplates to people for free. Of course, they no longer do that, but you can find them on Ebay and other sites. This is the same official bookplate and, after inspecting it, I believe it to be 100% hand Signed by President Bush himself. He is a hero of mine, so this is something I cherish deeply.
Gerald Ford (38th President of the United States, 4oth Vice President of the United States, Former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the only President in American history to have served as both Vice President and President without being elected to either office by the Electoral College)
Laura Bush (First Lady of the United States, First Lady of Texas, Wife of President George W. Bush)
This was also given to me as a Birthday present. The signature is on the book. I also believe this to be hand-signed by First Lady Laura Bush.
