In honor of Presidents Day.
31. HERBERT HOOVER (1929-1933)
An Iowa native who spent part of his boyhood in Oregon, Hoover was the first president from west of the Mississippi River.
32. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT (193-1945)
The longest serving president claimed to be distantly related to eleven other presidents, including his fifth cousin, Theodore Roosevelt.
33. HARRY S. TRUMAN (1945-1953)
The "S" in his name was just an initial; it didn't stand for any name. (The "S" in Ulysses S. Grant's name didn't stand for anything either.)
34. DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (1953-1961)
World War II hero, "Ike" was the first president to ride in a helicopter.
35. JOHN F. KENNEDY (1961-1963)
After being injured and honorably discharged in World War II, he was briefly employed as a journalist during the closing weeks of the war.
