National Mall NPS(@NationalMallNPS):Dedicated in September 2020, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial tells the story of a man who served his country as both a military leader and president. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the memorial features statues by sculptor Sergey Eylanbekov showing Eisenhower at different points in his life, from the “boy from Kansas” to the general who led Allied forces during World War II and the president who led the nation during the 1950s. A massive metal screen by artist Tomas Osinski evokes the Normandy coastline and the D-Day landings Eisenhower commanded. Next time you’re on the National Mall, take a walk over and see it for yourself. NPS photos.
