It's hard to believe but Gerald Ford assumed the presidency 33 years ago today. It happened at noon when Ford became the 38th president of the US! He said this:
"I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots, and so I ask you to confirm me as your President with your prayers." (Gerald Ford, Orator! By Quin Hillyer)
Ford was not a great communicator, in the sense of Reagan. Yet, he reassured a troubled nation that our constitution works.
Last December, Pres. Ford was buried by a grateful nation. Today, we remember his words.
We love Pres. Ford!
