happy birthday gerald ford's
Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr, born July 14, 1913, became the 38th president of the United States from 1974 until 1977. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Ford and his mother relocated to Grand Rapids where he was raised. Throughout Ford’s high school career and university, he was a top-performing football player and caught the attention of prominent teams and universities. Set on law, Ford enrolled in Yale Law School instead of pursuing a career in sports. Ford served in the U.S. Navy between 1942 and 1946 before beginning his professional career in politics. Just a year after becoming vice president, Ford became president following the resignation of Richard Nixon. We explore more about the former president here as we celebrate his birthday!
