Dwight David Eisenhower - National Harbor, MD - Statues of Historic Figures on Waymarking.com

Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower was an American politician and soldier who served as the 34th president of the United States from 1953 to 1961. During World War II he became a five-star general in the Army and served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe, a position that put him in authority over millions of men and on a first-name basis with leaders across the world. In his farewell address to the nation after serving two terms as President, he expressed his concerns about the dangers of government contracts to private military manufacturers, which he dubbed "the military–industrial complex."
