Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum

[hatguy1]

Recently, we toured the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum complex. As "Ike" had such a successful military career before he was elected president (twice), there's a ton of stuff to see and history to enjoy there.

But, as this is the World War Two portion of our wonderful Fedora Lounge, I'm including a link to some of the pics I took there.

I will be uploading more as the days go by, so I would encourage you to check back on this link.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy the pictures.

We were invited to the 100th Anniversary celebration at the Eisenhower museum. They had a troop train with WWII veterans, pulled by the Daylight locomotive. We flew out to greet them as they arrived. There was a big Living History incampment, we got a ride from the airport in a DUKW. Every one was dressed in either WWII uniforms, or, I Like Ike 50s cloths. It was a really fun week end!

My pleasure. I'm editing the pics of the other half of the Museum (his presidential years). Should have those added to the link in the next day or so. Please check back.

Unfortunately, no photos! That was the pre cell phone and digital days. I was flying so many shows, I stopped carrying a camera. Now I regret that!

Presidential photos added. Enjoy. And I hope you someday do visit the Eisenhower Center. What a marvelous museum.
