Yes Mr Nixon got us out of Viet Nam. It took him over four years in office, The economy could no longer support the war.
..and got us out of Viet Nam!!
I think it will be a nice addition to the museum. I guess I will get out there one day to see the aircraft, that transported the man, who took the Gold Standard from us, and gave us Watergate.
