Brigadier General Robert L. Schulz Autographs, Memorabilia & Collectibles

Brigadier General Robert L. Schulz (1907-1984)was appointed to be the Aide-de-Camp to General Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1947. At that time, Eisenhower was the Chief of Staff and General of the Army. An Aide-de-camp (translated from French into "helper in the camp) is an individual who acts as a personal assistant. Because of Eisenhower's status as a five-star General, he was allowed to retain Schulz even after he retired from the United States Army. Schulz followed Eisenhower for the rest of the General's life, serving as an aide while he was President of Columbia University, President of the United States, and even in his last years after his tenure of Commander-in-Chief ended. After Eisenhower's death, Schulz was appointed Special Assistant to the President for Liaison with Former Presidents in 1969.
