On this Memorial Day, we reflect on the sacrifices and service of all who have worn the uniform.

In 1943, while Ike led the Allied forces, Mamie served as a volunteer with the American Women's Voluntary Services in Washington, DC. Her original uniform from this period is currently preserved and on display in our "America Goes to War" gallery, standing as a testament to her commitment to the war effort.

We invite you to watch this archival footage of Mamie participating in a 1943 Memorial Day ceremony, highlighting her active role and dedication during those challenging years:

The Eisenhower Presidential Library is a proud member of the Blue Star Museums program. That means active duty military families receive free museum admission for up to five family members, all summer long (Armed Forces Day thru Labor Day).

No museum is a more fitting place for that program than this one. Dwight Eisenhower spent more than 40 years in uniform before he ever sat in the Oval Office. He understood what military families carry, what they sacrifice, and what they are owed by the country they serve.

"Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in blood of his followers and sacrifices of his friends."
Guildhall Address, London, 6/12/45

Come see us in Abilene this summer.
