“It has been a pleasure and honor to serve on the Eisenhower Memorial Commission as we recognize a great General, President and American,” said Simpson. “When we look back at U.S. history, when America has faced grave challenges, the right people- Washington, Lincoln, Grant - have inevitably risen to lead our country through difficult times. America was blessed to have another great leader in President Eisenhower who made his own significant impact on the fortunes of our nation. This memorial is a fitting tribute for all Americans to learn about and remember one of America’s great Presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower.”
