          1.President Gerald R. Ford served as the 38th President of the  
            United States and was a U.S. Navy World War II Veteran and  
            Veterans of Foreign Wars Life Member.

          2.President Gerald R. Ford, in a profound humanitarian act,  
            authorized a 
          $2 million fund and announced that the U.S. government would  
            begin evacuating Asian American orphans from Saigon on a  
            series of 30 planned flights, resulting in more than 2,700  
            children adopted in the U.S.

            on April 3 through April 26, 1975, of orphans from South
