During the Symphony at Sunset event in June, the Eisenhower Foundation presented awards to two soldiers serving the 1st Infantry Division at Fort Riley.
Sergeant Swaraj "Sam" Manandhar received the General Eisenhower Leadership Award, which recognizes a soldier who has performed above and beyond in military duties.
Each year, the Eisenhower Foundation joins people around the world in commemorating D-Day, the event that turned the tide for the Allied Forces in World War II.
As part of this commemoration, Symphony at Sunset returned to the grounds of the Eisenhower Presidential Library for the first time in two years!
This was the event that turned the tide for the Allied Forces in World War II. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of this historic occasion, military leaders, elected officials and members of the public gathered on the grounds of the Eisenhower Presidential Library & Museum in Abilene, Kansas, to honor all who served in World War II. Special tribute was given to 20 veterans who were in attendance.
