A bit extravagant for my taste. I wonder how Ike would feel about this.

Gen. Dwight Eisenhower
I believe he wouldn’t like it one bit;) Too showy and expensive.
If you noticed, as I did, Ike is never mentioned by the MSM and there will be no reference to the 41st anniversary of his death.
We certainly could use his quiet strength, decency and sense of duty during these trying times.
Why are they going to put diagonal lines and jigsaw puzzle pieces in the middle of Seventh Street? Is that part of the seismic activity monument or something? :)
This isnt a memorial! This looks like a construction site for an unfinished building!
And what the heck is with the ginormous screens. This thing will be a nightmare to maintain and will be meaningless to people 100 years from now.
A simple tasteful statue with a fountain would be more in Ike’s style anyway.
This looks like something my 5 year old grandaughter would slap together with a bunch of wooden blocks. Lemme guess, a ‘diversity’ designer perhaps?

If it was for Mac Arthur, then Mac Arthur would have commented it was too small for Mac Arthur (He referred to himself in the third person.). Most of you probably didn’t grow up during the Eisenhower years, but they were the best years in my lifetime. He was the most under rated President in the past century. In my book, he deserves to be a national hero. His picture is right up there in my den along with Lincoln and Grant.
Months after the war was officially over, Eisenhower’s special German DEF camps were still in operation forcing the men into confinement, but denying that they were prisoners. As soon as the war was over, General George Patton simply turned his prisoners loose to fend for themselves and find their way home as best they could. Eisenhower was furious, and issued a specific order to Patton, to turn these men over to the DEF camps. Knowing Patton as we do from history, we know that these orders were largely ignored, and it may well be that Patton’s untimely and curious death may have been a result of what he knew about these wretched Eisenhower DEF camps.
