Thank a Veteran Reception

The Eisenhower Foundation was honored to welcome nine World War II veterans during the second annual Thank a Veteran reception held on the campus of the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. Guests had the unique opportunity to meet these veterans and hear firsthand accounts of their personal experiences serving during the war.

If you know a World War II veteran who would like to attend next year, please contact Lisa Kijowski, Ike’s Soldiers Specialist.

"Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground" debuts Off-Broadway

A new one-person play starring Tony-Winner John Rubinstein as Dwight D. Eisenhower debuted in early June at the Theatre at St. Clements in New York City. Written by Richard Hellesen and directed by Peter Ellenstein, Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground offers a candid and fascinating fictional reflection on Eisenhower's life. The play draws on many of Eisenhower's memoirs, speeches, and letters, creating a compelling portrait of one of America's most respected leaders.
