(From Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas)
This week was the dedication ceremony for the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C.The memorial honors the legacy of Kansas’ favorite son, Ike, and is situated near the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum.
The memorial features three bronze sculptures of Eisenhower that represent important phases of his life: his boyhood in Abilene, his time as the Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces during World War II and his time as the 34thPresident of the United States.
This memorial and ceremony would not have been possible without the decades of work by Senator Pat Roberts and Senator Bob Dole. Thank you to both of them for their role as commissioners of Ike’s memorial, and thanks to the generosity of many members of the Greatest Generation for making its creation possible.
