Geocache Description:

These 50 caches are a tribute to our Nation and our Presidents.


Lyndon Johnson was the 36th President of the United States.

Here are some interesting facts:
1.  Lyndon Johnson was in the military during WWII. He was awarded the Silver Star by General MacArthur after Johnson's plane was attacked by Japanese airplanes.
2.  Lyndon Baines Johnson was the first President sworn in by a woman. He was sworn in by Federal District Judge Sarah Hughes. Also, he was the first President to be sworn in on an airplane. The plane was not in flight.
3.  Lyndon Baines Johnson used to go through the White House at night turning lights off that were not needed. He did not want to waste the taxpayer’s money.
4.  LBJ loved to give gifts.  He particularly liked giving electric toothbrushes. "I give these toothbrushes to friends," he explained, "for then I know that from now until the end of their days they will think of me the first thing in the morning and the last at night." His biographer Doris Kearns received more than 12 from Johnson in 10 years.
5.  Lyndon Johnson was the first president to name a black person to his Cabinet.
