Dwight D. Eisenhower

1915 graduated from West Point
1916 married Mamie Geneva Doud
1935 U.S. Military mission to the Philippines

1944 Commander, Allied Invasion of Normandy
1948 President, Columbia University
1950 First Military Commander, NATO

Both Norfolk House in St James's Square and the Bushy Park site of the European HQ of the US Army Air Forces claim to be the place where Eisenhower planned the WW2 Normandy landings and Operation Overlord.   We believe the planning for the Normandy landings was started at Norfolk House and then moved to Bushy Park.
