“We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people, but because of what people did for themselves and one another.”—Richard Nixon

This photographic tribute honors the life and public service of Richard M. Nixon (January 9, 1913—April 22, 1994). The occasion of his 111th birthday is one which should bring to mind his courage, grit, and stamina as the 37th President of the United States.
