Statement from Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim
Nicholson On the Passing of President Gerald Ford
December 27, 2006
Today, we mourn the passing of Gerald Ford, the thirty-eighth President
of the United States of America.
Before the world knew him as President, Vice President or Congressman,
Gerald Ford served our Nation proudly in the Navy during World War II.
Even after ascending to the highest office in the land, President Ford
kept a military man’s perspective and never forgot what it meant to
serve his Nation. Aptly, he once said, “The presidency and the
vice-presidency were not prizes to be won, but a duty to be done.”
President Ford spent a lifetime answering the call to duty, and we are
forever grateful for his service to our country. On behalf of the
Department of Veterans Affairs and our Nation’s veterans, I offer our
condolences to Mrs. Ford and the entire Ford family. They will remain in
our thoughts and prayers during this difficult period.
