DescriptionThis lapel pin was produced for Richard M. Nixon, who served as the 37th President of the United States. Nixon served one full term and resigned during his second term in 1974 after audio tapes confirmed his involvement in Watergate, a plot to break into his political opponent's office to steal important documents. Nixon is an important president in American history, as he is remembered for his administration's involvement in the Vietnam War, being the only president to resign and serving during the first moon landing in 1969. The pin is mostly gold with black detailing. Gold text reads "NIXON."On View
