Dwight D. Eisenhower National Memorial Approved
The Eisenhower Memorial received final approval for a site on September 21, 2006. Now that we know where the memorial will be located, we need to figure out what the memorial will be.
Dwight D. Eisenhower influenced the lives of millions of people and his legacy influences the world today. If you have ever driven on the interstate, talked on a cellular phone, traveled to Europe, Hawaii, or Alaska, then you have been directly influenced by Eisenhower. All aspects of Dwight D. Eisenhower's life, accomplishments, character, and views could never be detailed in a single memorial.
We need you to help us decide what is most important and most special about Eisenhower.
So, tell us what you think by filling out the eight-part survey to help us figure out what should be included in a national, permanent memorial to Ike. There is no right or wrong here — just tell us what is important or meaningful to you.
