He married Mamie Doud and had two boys with her

Another interesting fact about him is that he married Mamie Doud and had two boys with her. In October 1915, she met Dwight Eisenhower in San Antonio shortly after finishing her schooling at Wolcott School for Girls, a finishing school. Mrs. Lulu Harris, the wife of a fellow officer at Fort Sam Houston, introduced the two, and they hit it off right away, as Eisenhower, Officer of the Day, requested Miss Doud to accompany him on his rounds. To formalize a formal engagement, he presented her a miniature of his West Point class ring on Valentine's Day in 1916. Due to the United States' impending involvement in World War I, a November wedding in Denver was rescheduled up to July 1.

Eisenhower and his wife have two sons. Doud Dwight "Icky" Eisenhower (1917-1921) died of scarlet fever when he was three years old. Eisenhower was hesitant to discuss his death. John Eisenhower (1922-2013), their second son, was born in Denver, Colorado. John served in the United States Army, retired as a brigadier general, went on to become an author, and was the United States Ambassador to Belgium from 1969 to 1971. John graduated from West Point on June 6, 1944, which happened to be D-Day. On June 10, 1947, he married Barbara Jean Thompson. David, Barbara Ann, Susan Elaine, and Mary Jean were John and Barbara's four children. Camp David was named after David, who married Richard Nixon's daughter Julie in 1968.
