Ford (1913–2006) served as the 38th President of the United States from 1974 to 1977, assuming office following the resignation of Richard Nixon. During his presidency, Ford sought to restore public confidence in government during a turbulent period in American history. His administration oversaw significant domestic and international developments, including the conclusion of U.S. involvement in Vietnam and efforts to stabilize the nation following the Watergate crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1738\"\u003eFirst Lady Betty Ford (1918–2011) became one of the most admired and influential First Ladies of the twentieth century. Known for her candor, advocacy for women's rights, and later work raising awareness about addiction and recovery, she left a lasting legacy that extended well beyond her years in the White House.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"2058\"\u003eAir Force One remains one of the most recognizable symbols of the American presidency.
