Bennett then served overseas in World War II in North Africa, Sicily, and in the invasion of the European continent.

Newton Leroy Gingrich (born Newton Leroy McPherson; June 17, 1943) is an American politician and author from the state of Georgia who served as the 50th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999. He represented Georgia's 6th congressional district from 1979 until 1999. Gingrich won election to the United States House of Representatives in November 1978, the first Republican in the history of Georgia's 6th congressional district to do so. He served as House Minority Whip, and Speaker of the House. Gingrich was a major leader in the Republican victory in the 1994 congressional election. In 1995, Time named him "Man of the Year". As House Speaker, Gingrich oversaw passage of welfare reform and a capital gains tax cut. The poor showing by Republicans in the 1998 Congressional elections, and pressure from Republican colleagues, resulted in Gingrich's resignation from the speakership on November 6, 1998. Since leaving the House, Gingrich has worked as a political consultant. He has written or co-authored 27 books. More
