A Dedication to Dwight D. Eisenhower in East Meadow
Eisenhower Park, formerly known as Salisbury Park, was rededicated as Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Park on Oct. 13, 1969.
To commemorate the 44th anniversary of Eisenhower Park's rededication, county executive Ed Mangano dedicated a statue of Dwight D. Eisenhower Oct. 13 with help from local veterans.
Eisenhower Park, formerly known as Salisbury Park, was rededicated as Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Park on Oct. 13, 1969 at a ceremony attended by the 34th President’s grandson, Dwight D. Eisenhower II, and his wife, Julie Nixon Eisenhower.
“It gives me great pleasure to rededicate Eisenhower Park with a statue of our 34th President, Dwight D. Eisenhower,” Mangano said. “The ideals and outlook on the future that Eisenhower projected through all of his actions are as relevant today as they were when he was serving as our President in Washington.”
