Although his presidency is closely associated with the nation's economic crisis, Hoover was an internationally respected humanitarian whose relief efforts during and after World War I saved millions from famine. Following his presidency, he remained active in public service for decades, leading major government reform commissions under Presidents Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1942\" data-end=\"2454\"\u003eThis First Day Cover commemorates the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1980\" data-end=\"2037\"\u003erededication of the remodeled Tomb of Abraham Lincoln\u003c\/strong\u003e in Springfield, Illinois, on \u003cstrong data-start=\"2067\" data-end=\"2084\"\u003eJune 17, 1931\u003c\/strong\u003e.
