...This is Dday, you know," said Dwight Eisenhower. "That's right," answered Harry Truman, "22 years ago." It had been 2½ years since the former Presidents met at John Kennedy's funeral, and evidently that occasion ended the coolness. This time Ike and Harry got together at a Kansas City luncheon sponsored by an organization called U.N. We Believe.
