All people with a sense for history probably felt a twitch as these historical offices that were occupied by many vice presidents were damaged by the fire and by the water that were used to control it.
I kind of enjoyed the sarcasm used in this post to describe the “results” of the fire.
Since 1960, Cheney’s office has been occupied by every vice president from Lyndon B. Johnson, with the exception of Hubert Humphrey, who used a room on the floor below. Since its restoration in the 1980s, it has been considered a “ceremonial†office. It contains a desk first used by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902 and later by Presidents Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower. The inside of the top drawer has been signed by the various users since the 1940s.Sure it was no big deal but history is more than just memories it is things, items and many other things that have great historical value, lets hope that the things that are important to the history of the American nation would remain unharmed.
