The New Eisenhower Memorial

“He's probably the last president that will get bipartisan support for a memorial.  Democrats like him for big government things like the Department of Education and NASA and the interstate system - we love all that stuff - and of course he is a Republican, so that side of the aisle came on.  So this was sort of a cool thing in D.C. at first to see both sides of the aisle to say, yes, we need an Ike memorial."

Tour Guide Tell All explores a new memorial - or at least, what we decided to call a new memorial even though it is not officially open or dedicated yet.  The dedication of D.C.'s newest memorial has been postponed to September 17, 2020 but it is nearly completed, so we took a quick sneak peek.

Join us as we discuss the full-on DRAMA surrounding this memorial and its design and the unlikely story of how it finally came to life.
