The only U.S. President born in Iowa, Hoover was an uncommon and extraordinary public servant. His commitment to public service is evident by his strong efforts to establish organizations known today as UNICEF, Boys Clubs, Girls Clubs and the Hoover Institution on War Revolution and Peace. His diligent, humanitarian efforts saved the lives of millions of people suffering from the devastations of WWI and WWII.
“Let us remember that the great human advances have not been brought about by mediocre men and women. They were brought about by distinctly uncommon people with vital sparks of leadership. May it always be so. For the future of America rests not in mediocrity, but in the constant renewal of leadership in every phase of our national life.” - Herbert Hoover
