Nguyễn Cao Kỳ (8 September 1930 – 23 July 2011) served as the Chief of the Vietnam Air Force in the 1960s, before leading the nation as the Prime Minister of South Vietnam in a military junta from 1965 to 1967. Then, until his retirement from politics in 1971, he served as Vice President to General Nguyễn Văn Thiệu, in a nominally civilian administration.

Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was the 36th President of the United States (1963–1969) after his service as the 37th Vice President of the United States (1961–1963). He is one of only four people who served in all four elected federal offices of the United States: Representative, Senator, Vice President and President.
