One of the most charismatic and influential politicians of his day, L. Mendel Rivers  represented the First Congressional District of South Carolina, for nearly thirty years.  (1941 until his death in December of 1970.)  As Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee during the Vietnam War, he was one of the most influential congressmen in Washington, D.C. while priding himself as a champion of the ordinary service man.
