[ This rainy scene in Washington, DC was the inauguration for our twenty-third U.S. President. And, wow, what strange statues were there for the ceremony ;) = public domain image]
If you read the quote at the top of this page, you got a great hint ... to pick William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison.
Today is President Benjamin Harrison's birthday. He served as our 23rd President of the United States from 1889 to 1893.
And, he is the grandson of our 9th President, William Henry Harrison.
[ President Benjamin Harrison has been featured on 6 U.S. stamps - more than most Presidents for some odd reason ]
